The Qualcomm vs Nokia proceedings have been halted until further notice after the Administrative Law Judge overseeing the investigation ordered a stay of the proceedings until further notice.

Previously the trial had been planned to begin on March 5th 2007.

Qualcomm filed the complaint against Nokia with the ITC in June last year requesting investigation into the alleged infringement by Nokia’s GSM products of six Qualcomm patents.

Nokia is disputing the allegations and believes that Qualcomm has a weak case and that the fact Qualcomm has removed three of the original six patents from the suit reflects a weakness in Qualcomm’s case.
