A judge canceled Apple Inc.'s (AAPL) jury trial against Google Inc.'s (GOOG) Motorola Mobility unit, rejecting the arguments of both parties in the patent dispute, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.

The trial had been scheduled to begin June 11.

"You have to prove injury," U.S. Circuit Judge Richard A. Posner told the companies' lawyers Thursday, Bloomberg reported.

Mr. Posner is still considering Apple's request for injunctive relief and plans a decision later Thursday, Bloomberg reported.
