Apple vs HTC: proxy fight over Android could last years
Apple came out swinging Tuesday against smartphone maker HTC, filing a federal lawsuit and a complaint with the International Trade Commission, both alleging that HTC’s phones violated numerous Apple patents. Some believe the suits are the beginning of a protracted legal battle against Google’s Android OS, and analysis of the patents in question suggest Apple’s two-pronged approach may be successful, though HTC says it’s ready to fight back with its own patents and with Google in its corner.
