HTC is demanding a ban on sales of Apple devices in the United States.

HTC has filed a new lawsuit against Apple for intellectual property infringement. The company is accused of infringing three patents issued in 2008 and 2010.

For this reason, HTC is seeking a ban on the import and sale of iPad tablets, iPods, iPhones, and Apple personal computers in the United States, as well as monetary compensation for damages. HTC filed its lawsuit in the United States District Court for Delaware.

Last year, Apple and HTC filed lawsuits accusing each other of illegally using patented technologies. Apple claims that HTC is illegally using technologies related to software architecture and user interface design, touchscreens, motion sensors, and other features.

Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC has filed another lawsuit against Apple, accusing the latter of a series of patent infringements. HTC's lawsuit clearly further escalates the conflict between the two major smartphone makers.

Experts are calling the Apple-HTC case an "Apple vs. Android" standoff.
