The U.S. International Trade Commission today said it plans to investigate allegations made by Immersion that Apple and AT&T are violating its patents.
Immersion develops touchscreen and haptic technology and says Apple and its partner AT&T are infringing on those patents. Companies often use the ITC to file patent lawsuits due to the agency’s ability to ban products from entry into the country.
Apple and AT&T did not respond publicly to the complaint.
