Apple filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Qualcomm on Friday, alleging that the chipmaker’s patent-licensing practices amount to  “extortion.” Today, the full, international extent of that legal assault became clearer, as Apple filed two more lawsuits in Beijing’s Intellectual Property Court.

Like the US cases, the Chinese lawsuits say that Qualcomm abused its dominant position in the industry, according to Reuters, which first reported the developments. The first seeks 1 billion yuan ($145.35 million) in damages. The second case says Qualcomm didn’t license standard-essential patents at a fair and reasonable rate.

In a statement on the new lawsuits, Qualcomm said that Apple was offered the same terms as other customers.
