In the high-stakes mobility space, Nokia and Qualcomm continue their pitched battle for the hearts and minds of the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Nokia launched a fresh set of complaints and is asking the ITC to ban the import of Qualcomm chipsets that allegedly infringe on a series of patents.
