by Nokia. That report related to only4 of the 9 patents asserted by Apple

against Nokia: those that were asserted

only against Nokia but not against HTC('431, '599, '726, '354).The Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)

The technologies at issue in the '599patent relate to a graphic system and corresponding management of graphic processing.

(item 14 of complaint)"The Accused Products include computing and mobile communication devices, including but not limited to computers, cellular phones,and PDAs manufactured, marketed, and/or sold by Nokia in the United States. The Accused Products also include software andNokia devices (such as the Nokia N900 and others) that incorporate such software including operating systems (such as the SymbianOS), user interfaces, as well as other software (such as the Qt software), designed for use on, and intended to be loaded onto, suchdevices."

Partial consolidationOn 26 Apr 2010, the ITC ordered the partial consolidation of this case into investigation no. 337-TA-710. As a result, Nokia Corp. (ofEspoo, Finland) and Nokia Inc. (of White Plains, NY 10604) have to defend themselves alongside HTC against allegations ofinfringement of five patents (the '867, '131, '705, '263 and RE486 patents). An unopposed Apple motion for partial termination on 28 Oct

2010 (relating to four patents, three of which were subject to partial consolidation) reduced that subset of patents to two (the '705 and'263 patents). Information concerning HTC's allegedly infringing products is provided in a document covering Apple's disputes withMotorola and HTC.

Staff reportIn early November 2010, media reports claimed that the staff of the ITC (or more precisely, of its Office of Unfair Import Investigations)had stated in a memorandum dated 27 October 2010 that "the evidence will not establish a violation ... as to any of the assertedpatents." However, the investigating staff is merely a party to the proceeding, and the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) assigned to thecase is free to decide against the staff recommendation. That has, in fact, happened in a number of cases.

Also, FOSS Patents pointed outthat the staff report related onlyto the fourpatents remaining in investigation no. 337-TA-704, not to thefive patents consolidated into investigation no. 337-TA-710.
