Motorola Mobility has filed its second lawsuit against Apple with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), which, if successful, could effectively ban the sale of the iPhone, Mac computers and the iPad from the United States.

The Google-owned handset maker said in a statement:

We would like to settle these patent matters, but Apple’s unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers’ innovations.

Motorola has accused the iOS firm of breaching a total of of its patents pertaining to location-based reminders, media playback on phones, Siri, push email notifications, as well as others.

The company, who were bought by Google for $12.5 billion, has previously won a case against Apple in Germany over their data synchronization patent. Due to the lawsuit’s success, iCloud users can’t have iCloud email pushed to their iOS devices while they’re within Germany.

    Google, you are really funny things for apple. There is only one way to defeat apple?? Before you do like this, you need to take a look at the mirror and say “did I use somebody idea to get here”. I’m really shame on you google. Now I’ll switch to all my devices to apple products!!!

      The only thing google tried to ban is porn (at leats on my country is.. and likely the gov is the one behind it). As for this article, Apple is finally getting a taste of what they started themself.

    You should probly switch to Google. Apple has never invented anything and they try to get everything else banned.

    none of this would have happened if apple didn’t try to sue every one and their brother

    If Apple didn’t start making phones back in 2007, mobile industry would have developed a lot without any law suits. Above all they haven’t done any thing new, iphone is a design of Sony, well at least according to Samsung

    It’s not so much copying concepts of mobile devices; they exist on every smart device. It’s about protecting the $Billions spent in R&D that makes a device stand alone from the rest. Apple improves upon itself by studying their products and perfecting them more ad more which is why they only have one one phone, not 50. When technology is implemented across your entire product line, you should protect it any way you can. it’s pride, not greed.
