I'm not a lawyer, but my basic knowledge of international law tells me that what you say isn't possible since Jolla isn't represented in the US. Yes - they can try to sue in Europe, but good luck with that. The EU is a bit more sensible when it comes to patent infringement and all that in comparison to the US. Apple was already denied attempts to sue Samsung in Europe, at least once. Hell, the same happened to Nokia, and they are successfully pursuing lawsuits in the US!

In short, you can always import the phone into the US, and there will be nothing that Apple can do legally to stop you from using it.
EDIT: You can always import for personal use, that is, if you attempt to resell it they may come after you ;-)
