Google's recently acquired Motorola Mobility unit has filed another claim against Apple with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). This time, Motorola Mobility is claiming that Apple devices including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch infringe patents related to features such as location reminders, email notifications, and media players.

Motorola Mobility's new claim asserts that Apple has infringed seven of its patent, a company official confirmed Saturday, Aug. 18. The Google-owned company is now asking the ITC to issue a ban on imports of iPhones, iPads and iPods that allegedly infringed those patents. According to the official, the patents in question are not standards-essential.

While the documents detailing the specific patents are not yet available from the Commission, Motorola Mobility issues a media statement on Friday, Aug. 17, announcing it has filed a new complaint with the agency. "We would like to settle these patent matters, but Apple's unwillingness to work out a license leaves us little choice but to defend ourselves and our engineers' innovations," reads the statement emailed to Bloomberg.

The new claim comes just one week before the ITC is set to issue a final ruling in an earlier case between the two companies. Back in April, and ITC judge made a preliminary ruling saying that Apple infringed on a patent for noise cancellation. That claim, however, covers a standards-essential patent. Such standards-essential patents cover features and functions that are considered part of industry standard technologies, and standards bodies expect them to be licensed under so-called FRAND (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory) terms. Motorola, however, highlighted that the new complaint is not for standards-essential patents.

The ITC cases are only part of a bigger patent battle between Apple and Motorola Mobility. The two companies have separately appealed a decision Judge Richard Posner of the U.S District Court for the Northern District of Illinois made in June, both seeking to throw out a case involving FRAND terms for standards-essential patents.

Cupertino, California-based Apple has also asked the European Court to intervene in its patent battle with Motorola Mobility. This, in turn, has resulted in several European cases, including a legal dispute in German courts.

Motorola Mobility's patent claims have been closely watched by the tech industry, particularly since Google recently completed its $12.5 billion acquisition of the company and its patent portfolio. Smartphones running on Google's popular Android operating system have been involved in a global patent and copyright battle with the giant iPhone maker.
