Intr-o cerere recenta trimisa ITC-ului, cei de la Motorola sustin ca 7 brevete de inventie proprii sunt incalcate de catre produse ale companiei Apple si ele trebuie scoase din vanzare in SUA. Cei de la Motorola pun accentul pe sistemul iMessage din iDevice-uri si Mac-uri, iar cererea de interdictie cuprinde toate produsele care ruleaza acest sistem, iPhone 5 putand fi inclus daca cererea nu ar fi fost introdusa inaintea lansarii sale. Foarte multe produse Apple sunt listate in cerere, nimeni nu stie daca Motorola chiar poate castiga acest caz sau doar incearca sa forteze mana Apple, insa acuzatiile sunt grave.
With so many participants in the highly competitive Wireless communication, portable music, and computer market, it is unlikely that consumers would experience much of an impact if the requested exclusion orders were obtained,” Motorola wrote. “Even if the exclusion order caused an increase in the price of wireless communications devices, portable music and data processing devices, computers, and components thereof—an unlikely event—a price increase alone is insufficient to warrant preclusion of a remedial order.
Apple si Motorola au castigat una impotriva celeilalte in instante din Europa, iar un castig intr-o instanta americana nu ar fi imposibil.
