Apple's second attempt to overturn a ban on 5G iPhone and iPad sales in Colombia ended in failure, as a Colombian court rejected Apple's petition, according to a report from the well-known foreign intellectual property blog Foss Patents.

The first attempt was an emergency motion filed by Apple in the U.S. federal court in Texas, asking Ericsson to compensate it for any damages caused by the Colombian court injunction, but the request was rejected by the court.

It is reported that in April this year, a Colombian court ruled that Apple infringed a 5G patent of Ericsson. Ericsson subsequently submitted a bond of $50,000 for the court to enforce the law. The court issued a preliminary injunction against Apple's Colombian subsidiary in July, banning Apple's 5G devices iPhone and iPads are sold and imported in the country.

The dispute between Ericsson and Apple has unfolded globally, and according to statistics, Ericsson has filed patent infringement lawsuits against Apple in at least six jurisdictions, including the United States (ITC and district courts), Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, Colombia and the United Kingdom, The reason is the failure of the two sides to negotiate the renewal of the seven-year telecom patent licensing contract first reached in 2015.
