Apple Inc. asked a federal judge to rule that its iPhones and iPads don’t infringe two patents owned by Wi-Lan Inc. ahead of a trial scheduled in November on the Canadian technology licensor’s claims.

U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw in San Diego didn’t issue a decision at a hearing today on Apple’s request. The judge told the companies’ lawyers he will issue a ruling in two to three weeks.
