Microsoft has suffered a setback in a patent row over technologies used by its Xbox 360 games console.

A judge at the US International Trade Commission has ruled that the firm infringed four patents owned by Motorola Mobility.

The full commission will review the judgement in August.

If the final ruling goes against Microsoft and it does not settle, Motorola could theoretically force it to halt imports of the Xbox to the US.

The claims relate to technologies involved in the H.264 video compression standard and wi-fi connectivity.
