Chipmaker Qualcomm will ask the U.S. International Trade Commission to bar Apple from selling some iPhones and iPads in the United States that use chips made by competitor Intel on the grounds that the devices infringe on six Qualcomm patents.
In a request that would broaden its legal battle with Apple, San Diego-based Qualcomm said it will ask the U.S. ITC to ban imports of the infringing Apple devices. A related lawsuit was filed in federal court in California on Thursday to request monetary damages.
