Nokia and Qualcomm agreed late Friday to consolidate two of their multiple pending patent infringement lawsuits; the two have agreed to combine their arbitration case in Los Angeles with a legal case in Delaware and agreed to halt any further potential litigation.

The issues that will now be decided in Delaware are part of an ongoing legal battle between the two firms that heated up when a technology licensing agreement expired last April. Although consolidating even two of the more than a dozen cases filed on three continents seems like a step in the right direction, Nokia said the case in Delaware is “unlikely” to resolve the overall licensing issues between the two companies.

The judge in the Delaware case has set the court date for July 21.
