The commission's affirms an from an administrative law judge in December 2011. The ITC began investigating the issue in November 2010, in response to a complaint from Microsoft.

The ITC found that Motorola's devices infringe on Microsoft's patent number , which describes "generating meeting requests and group scheduling from a mobile device."

Microsoft had originally alleged that Motorola was infringing nine patents, but they were eventually reduced to one.

The order is subject to a 60-day presidential review, during which time Motorola must post a US$0.33 bond for any device it imports with the infringing technology.

Motorola spokeswoman Jennifer Erickson said the company was "disappointed" but would "not experience any impact in the near term," pending the presidential review and a possible appeal.
