Mobile devices made by Apple, such as the iPhone and the iPad apparently threatened not be sold in the United States, following an action that will take a trade organization in the country who will review the findings of the judge stating that the iPhone and the iPad has violated a patent that is now Motorola Mobility has been owned by Google. One of the worst effects for Apple in this case is about banning the import of which a breach of it.

As quoted by Bloomberg, reported that U.S. international trade commission has been scheduled to issue a final decision on August 24, where it has the authority to block devices made in Asia to enter the U.S. market.

The commission said it would review the various aspects of all four patents Motorola Mobility in this case, including one that was found to have infringed the patent. The institute will nevertheless consider whether to issue a ban on imports of products found to infringe patents related to industry standards.

According to one source said Apple infringed patents related to the industry standard for 3G technology has been used by many mobile phones, but Motorola Mobility argued that Apple violates its patents with the following standards.

On the other hand Apple argues, because the Motorola Mobility helps establish those standards, should not be allowed to block the use of the patented invention related to the standard. Apple's argument was echoed by the US Federal Trade Commission and operator Verizon, has submitted a paper that supports Apple's argument, at which point the import ban should not be imposed on those patents.

As we know according to the results of research conducted by NPD Group, the iPhone is reported to have generated sales of up to 22 billion USD in the last quarter for Apple, or accounted for 58% of total company revenue. This is the best-selling smartphone in the United States with the acquisition of 29% market share.

While the iPad according to Display Search studies, has dominated the tablet market which stood at 72%. These devices has resulted in purse money for 9.2 billion USD Apple prominence, or nearly 20% of total revenues for vendor which based in Cupertino.

As a result, if in the end the U.S. International Trade Commission, made the decision to block Apple's best-selling products in the United States for violating the patent, of course it would be a blow to Apple. So, we wait for its development.
