AppleInsider StaffApple's latest move is in response to a move in December from Nokia, when it too asked the ITC to ban the import of Apple products. This week's latest patent infringement suit is the latest in a list of legal battles the two companies are engaged in.
A notice of complaint from Apple was posted on the ITC Web site Friday without any detail. The ITC oversees U.S. trade and deals with matters that include patent infringement.
The battle first began in October, when Nokia sued Apple over the use of patented wireless standards. Nokia has alleged that the iPhone maker has infringed on GSM and wireless LAN related patents it owns.
Two months later, Apple countersued Nokia over its own patented technologies. Apple has alleged that Nokia has attempted to obtain more money from it than other companies, as well as rights to Apple's intellectual property.
Nokia previously asked the ITC to ban the import of Apple products, including iPhones, iPods and MacBooks, into the U.S. Nokia's ITC complaint accuses Apple of treading on seven distinct patents applying to user interface, camera, antenna and power management.

Wait, Nokia asked the US to ban a US company's products from its own market? Good luck with that, Nokia. I sincerely hope they lose this one, given that the Macbook and iPod series doesn't even have ANYTHING to do with their patent infringement, if Apple even infringed at all. Nokia's just being stupid here.

If Apple had nothing to fear they'd simply march into the courtroom and have it dealt with. There's always an outside chance they might come out of the wrong of this. These are simply negotiating tactics.
Draw swords!

No Nokia asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to ban the import of Apple products into the U.S.
Apple has their products made in China or Taiwan, perhaps other places too, like in Europe.
Your posts have a pattern now I realise. They start with a fact that you have read somewhere; followed by an assertion that is simply wrong; followed by a conclusion that is breathtaking in its stupidity. Nobody can be such an idiot. I now suspect that you are in fact merely playing with the boring conventions of logic, wisdom, common sense etc and that we should all recognise and bow before your genius.
I await your next prose-poem with barely contained anticipation.
