The Taiwan smartphone maker HTC has filed a lawsuit in the US against Apple, accusing its American rival of infringing its patents.
HTC is trying to stop US imports of iPhones, iPads, iPods and Mac computers.
It is a legal war over patents between the two companies.
The war for sales of smartphones between HTC and Apple took a new twist on Monday when Google agreed to pay $12.5 billion to buy Motorola's mobile unit.
Google wants to move ahead with development of its Android system for mobile telephones, making it more competitive with rivals like Microsoft.
The legal awr over patents between HTC of Taiwan and Apple in the US is part of the sales war.
HTC General Counsel Grace Lei said in a statement: "We are taking this action against Apple to protect our intellectual property, our industry partners, and most importantly our customers that use HTC products.". Apple has not passed any comments.
