WASHINGTON, April 24 (Reuters) – Apple Inc infringed on a

Motorola Mobility patent in making its popular iPhones, iPads

and other products, a judge for the International Trade

Commission ruled on Tuesday.

Motorola Mobility, which is in the process of being acquired

by Google, had filed related lawsuits against Apple in

district courts in Illinois and Florida.

Apple did not violate three other patents which Motorola

Mobility accused it of infringing, ITC Judge Thomas Pender said

in a preliminary ruling.

The full commission will now review the judge’s decision and

issue a final ruling in August.

The case is at the International Trade Commission, No.

337-745.
