Apple and fellow defendant LG Electronics were both cleared of patent infringement charges by a Southern California jury today.
Following a two-week patent trial, a jury in a federal court in San Diego decided that both companies did not infringe on patents owned by Alcatel-Lucent, Bloomberg notes.
Multimedia Patent Trust, a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent, sued the two companies in December 2010 for alleged infringement on three of its patents covering video technology.
The lawsuit targeted both Apple's portable iOS devices like the iPhone,
iPad and
iPod Touch, along with computers such as MacBooks and iMacs -- effectively, anything that included Apple's QuickTime video technology. For LG, it was nine of its phones, which Multimedia Patent Trust claimed infringe on two of its patents with built-in video software and the use of a Qualcomm chip.
