Looks like Nokia's pulling all the stops in its patent fight with Apple (http://www.engadget.com/tag/apple,nokia,patent): in addition to the already-filed lawsuit (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/29/nokia-vs-apple-the-in-depth-analysis/), the Finnish company has now filed a complaint with the International Trade Commission (http://www.engadget.com/tag/itc), alleging that "virtually all" of Apple's products infringe one of seven patents covering user interfaces, cameras, antennas, and power management. Ouch. Of course, this is a pretty standard tactic as far as major patent disputes go -- this is just a second front of the same war (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/11/apple-countersues-nokia-for-infringing-13-patents/), and we'd expect Apple to lodge an ITC complaint of its own in due time. What could make this interesting is the ITC's power to ban imports (http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/sharp-lcd-panels-banned-from-us-import-until-further-notice/) of infringing products (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/10/itc-rules-samsung-infringed-on-four-sharp-patents-bans-import-o/) in relatively short order, so we'll be keeping a close eye on this one.Nokia brings Apple patent fight to the ITC, says most Apple products infringe (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/29/nokia-brings-apple-patent-fight-to-the-itc-says-most-apple-prod/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 29 Dec 2009 15:31:00 EST.
