UK High Court finds invalidity in Qualcomm’s patent dispute with Nokia

Just days after the ITC upheld a December ruling that stated that Nokia did not violate Qualcomm patents, the UK High Court has handed down its decision on a lawsuit initially filed in May of 2006. If you’ll recall, the case involved Nokia’s GSM / GPRS / EDGE-only handsets and a pair of Qualcomm’s patents “that cover certain power saving and power control technologies.” Nearly two years after the spat got real, the court has ruled that “although the Nokia accused products included the patented technologies, the power saving patent is invalid and that the power control patent is partially valid but, insofar as it is valid, is not infringed by Nokia.” Granted, we reckon that could have been spilled out with fewer complexities, but the end result has Qualcomm considering “whether to seek permission from the UK court to amend the patents and appeal the decision.” Please, just let it go.
