Apple Inc.’s patent-infringement lawsuit against Google Inc.’s Motorola Mobility unit was tentatively dismissed by a federal judge four days before it was scheduled to go to trial.

U.S. Judge Richard A. Posner in Chicago today rejected each side’s damages claims at what was to be the last hearing before a June 11 trial. Posner later said he wouldn’t hold a hearing on Apple’s request for an order blocking alleged Motorola Mobility infringement.
