The patent battle continues anew between Apple and Motorola this week with the Google subsidiary filing a fresh patent case with the US International Trade Commission today. Details of the claims aren’t yet available, but The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Motorola is alleging that Cupertino is in violation of seven patents — none of which are considered standards-essential (that is, Motorola is under no obligation to license the patents under FRAND terms ). Motorola says that Apple has shown “unwillingness” to work on a licensing scheme for the IP that it says affects the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and it’s asking for the ITC to levy an import ban as a result.
