Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) is seeking to block U.S. imports of Nokia (NYSE: NOK) mobile phones by filing a new patent- infringement complaint against Nokia with the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington. The complaint is very similar to one Nokia filed earlier this month that attempted to block the Apple imports, including the iPhone.
A Nokia spokesperson told Bloomberg: “Nokia will study the complaint when it is received and continue to defend itself vigorously. However this does not alter the fact that Apple has failed to agree appropriate terms for using Nokia technology and has been seeking a free ride on Nokia’s innovation since it shipped the first iPhone in 2007.” If the ITC agrees to consider Apple’s complaint, it could finish the investigation in 15 months. Likewise, the ITC is still deciding whether to review Nokia’s complaint about Apple.
