Aug 19, 10:41 AM

Current Headlines: Nokia, the world's biggest maker of cellphones, has asked U.S. trade officials to ban imports of handsets containing Qualcomm chipsets, which Nokia said infringe on its patents. Nokia, which is based in Espoo, Finland, filed the complaint Thursday with the U.S. International Trade Commission, a Washington agency that can stop imports of products that infringe on U.S. patents. The company accused Qualcomm of using "unfair trade practices" in relation to five of its patents.
