SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — Motorola Inc. was dealt a setback as the U.S. Court of Appeals issued a ruling that means Qualcomm Corp. can continue to sell its Q wireless telephones while the companies are embroiled in a patent dispute.
The court upheld a lower court's denial of Motorola's request for a preliminary injunction that would have prevented sales of Qualcomm's Q phone. Motorola is accusing San Diego-based Qualcomm with infringing on patents Motorola holds on its StarTac product, another very small wireless phone.
