On the eve of an expected ruling from the U.S. International Trade Commission, HTC Corp. has played it safe and settled a patent infringement case brought by Nokia Oyj. The settlement resolves the ITC case and similar disputes in other countries.

According to a Nokia press release issued on Friday, HTC will pay for a license to Nokia patents on wireless technology. Nokia said the companies will also explore “future technology collaboration opportunities,” a statement that Foss Patents blogger Florian Mueller interpreted as a sign that Nokia will help HTC assert its own wireless patents. The full details of the settlement are confidential.
