Paice, a leading company in the hybrid technology field, is seeking an order to block the importat of VW, Audi and Porsche models into the US because they are alleged to infringe its patents, of which there are many.

The US International Trade Commission is investigating: it has powers to ban imports which patent owners like to invoke - probably because it's much cheaper and quicker than suing for infringement.
