Apple sues HTC for patent infringement

Apple has filed a lawsuit against Taiwan-based phone manufacturer HTC. Apple said that HTC has infringed on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone user interface, architecture and hardware. Lawsuit was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and in U.S. District Court in Delaware

Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO said in a press release “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”
