Google may block the sale of iPhones and U.S. Cases

 Google podrĂ­a bloquear la venta de iPhones y iPads en Estados Unidos

The U.S. Agency for International Trade Commission announced this week that will review an application for Google against Apple in which the company claims that Apple has violated several patents related to search engine on their devices 3G IOS. Google claimed that Apple infringed four of its patents and in April this year a judge ruled in favor of Google saying that Apple violated at least one of these patents.

The International Trade Commission is already examining the case and set up discussions with counsel for both parties. If it is finally given the right to Google, it would have the power to block sales of iPhones and Cases in the U.S. and Asia, causing great harm to the benefits that Apple generates from the sale of these devices.

Google has great power at this time following the purchase of Motorola, which claimed more than 18,000 patents. The next August will be the first open session of the International Trade Commission, which will discuss this case.
