Apple has lost an infringement case brought by patent-licensing firm MobileMedia Ideas when a federal jury decided the Cupertino-based company misappropriated protected technology for handheld devices, reports “Bloomberg” (http://macte.ch/8HGaF).

Jurors in Wilmington, Delaware, deliberated about four hours after a weeklong trial before also concluding today that the three patents are not invalid, the article adds. MobileMedia sued Apple in 2010, claiming it infringed 14 patents for electronics.
