Apple Goes After HTC In Lawsuit Over 20 iPhone Patents

,----[ Quote ]
| Apple is using its strong patent portfolio 
| to fight iPhone competitors in court. Its 
| latest target is HTC. Apple has filed a 
| patent infringement lawsuit against the cell 
| phone manufacturer. The suit involves â20 
| Apple patents related to the iPhoneâs user 
| interface, underlying architecture and 
| hardware.â
| 
| Steve Jobs is quoted in a press release 
| saying: âWe can sit by and watch competitors 
| steal our patented inventions, or we can do 
| something about it. Weâve decided to do 
| something about it. We think competition is 
| healthy, but competitors should create their 
| own original technology, not steal ours.â 
| The lawsuit itself is not available yet 
| online. Weâve asked Apple for a copy.

Apple Taps ITC to Kneecap Google

,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has enlisted the patent court and the 
| U.S. International Trade Commission in an 
| effort to kneecap Google. The company this 
| morning filed a lawsuit against HTC â which 
| makes Googleâs Nexus One, among other 
| Android handsets â claiming the Taiwanese 
| manufacturer has infringed on 20 of its 
| patents ârelated to the iPhoneâs user 
| interface, underlying architecture and 
| hardware.â But the move may have more to do 
| with Androidâs rapid growth than actual 
| patent sins.
