Google's Motorola division claims Apple is infringing on seven of its patents and wants to block iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers from being imported to the U.S.

Since Google’s acquisition of Motorola back in February, the Droid expert has stayed quiet about its previous grievances with Apple. But now, according to Bloomberg, Google’s Motorola division has filed a new patent lawsuit against Apple (following Samsung’s lead), opening some old wounds leftover from Motorola and Apple’s long-standing legal disputes. The complaint, submitted to the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), names features like location reminders, email notifications, along phone and video players as possible infringements.

Apple is the one trying to stifle innovation. It rants about how companies steal from it when it does the exact same. Should the original Motorola case be handed to Google, iOS devices before the 4 series would be banned from import, but I don't think they're being made anymore. Should this new case win, I presume it would place a ban on the 4 series and possibly the 5 series devices.

They won't. Anyway, with as much tax revenue that is generated by Apple, I highly doubt there would be a block. Many iOS users that I know (myself included) would rather hold onto a current device then switch OS's. It would punish consumers and the Treasury just as much as it would Apple. This seems more like retaliation for Apple (excessively) trying to block Samsung's Android devices.

I doubt Google would seek a ban on devices. A monetary punishment is more likely to teach Apple a lesson. Though on the other hand, as much as tax revenue is very important to the US and US based company, Google has several fat contracts with all the alphabet soup agencies in the US and overseas.
