Aqua Connect Seeks Import Ban on Apple iPhones, Macs

Aqua Connect and subsidiary Strategic Technology Partners are seeking a limited exclusion order banning import of Apple computers and mobile devices, they said in a Tariff Act Section 337 complaint filed Oct. 10. The complaint said Mac computers running macOS 10.7 or above; iPhones, iPads and iPods running iOS 5 or above; and Apple TV products, second generation and above, copy Strategic Technology Partners’ patented screen-sharing technology. The companies asked the International Trade Commission to also issue a cease and desist order against Apple. Comments are due Oct. 25, the ITC said in Tuesday's Federal Register. Apple didn't comment.
