In 2010, there was an explosion of litigation between companies developing third-generation mobile phones.
As well as filing litigation in the courts, many cases were filed with the United States International Trade Commission to block imports and exports. No such blocks have yet been put in place (as of August 2010).
As well as filing a lawsuit, many patent holders also file a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission to ban the import of the product in question.
