A judge with the U.S. International Trade Commission has issued an initial ruling against Qualcomm, in the San Diego chipmaker’s patent infringement complaint against Finnish handset maker, Nokia.

The judge found no intellectual property infringement or violation on the part of Nokia, with regard to three of Qulacomm’s patents. In addition to this, Qualcomm patent #473 was found to be invalid.

The judge’s initial determination will now be reviewed by the International Trade Commission, which intends to issue a final ruling by April 14, 2008.

Qualcomm filed its complaint against Nokia with the ITC in June 2006, seeking an import ban on a number of Nokia cell phones which allegedly violated the chipmaker’s power control patents.
