Nokia asks ITC to ban all Apple Mobile Products

Looks like Nokia is going all-out in its patent fight with Apple. In addition to the lawsuit it’s filed over GSM standards and last week’s International Trade Commission complaint, Espoo just filed a second complaint with the federal court, alleging that Apple’s infringing several “implementation patents” that cover everything from camera sensors to touchscreens.

That’s three fronts in the same war, if you’re counting , the original regarding GSM patents, and these two latest over specific device technologies. The biggest bombshell so far is the ITC complaint, in which Nokia’s asking the commission to ban imports of basically every Apple mobile product from the MacBook to the iPhone for infringing its device patents, a strategy we’ve seen in other high-profile cases.

Since the ITC has the ability to move quite quickly, we’d expect that case to be the primary battleground for the moment, but remember that Apple has plenty of its own incredibly broad patents of its own to fight back with here, so don’t expect a quick resolution.
