Qualcomm is trying to get iPhone sales banned in China

Qualcomm has launched a new lawsuit against Apple, asking a Chinese court to block

the sale and manufacturing of iPhones within the country, according to Bloomberg. This is the latest strike in a legal war between the two companies, which started out in the US and has since expanded worldwide. In its lawsuit, Qualcomm reportedly claims that Apple is in violation of three patents, none of which are essential to any industry standards — meaning Qualcomm isn’t obligated to license them. "Apple employs technologies invented by Qualcomm without paying for them,” a Qualcomm spokesperson told Bloomberg. Those patents are said to cover power management and the iPhone’s Force Touch feature.                                                                                          https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/13/16472908/qualcomm-iphone-sales-ban-lawsuit-china
