ITC says Apple violated Motorola patent with iOS

Susan Decker for Bloomberg:

Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. (MMI) won a partial U.S. International Trade Commission judge’s ruling in its bid to block imports of Apple Inc. (AAPL)’s devices including the iPhone and iPad tablet computer. ITC Judge Thomas Pender said Apple violated one of four Motorola Mobility patent rights. The patent relates to Wi-Fi technology. The judge’s findings are subject to review by the six-member commission, which has the power to block imports that infringe U.S. patents.

Two of the patents concern Wi-Fi; one involves how the phone senses if it’s close to the user’s head, and the last one describes the way the server tracks application availability.
