Apple Sues HTC Again Over Patents

Posted by samzenpus on from the litigation-pie dept.

recoiledsnake writes "Apple is suing HTC again over patent infringement. Apple is adding two new patents to the 20 included in the earlier case while adding additional details to two patents included previously. Although Android is not mentioned in any of the court documents, many of the patent infringement complaints refer to the software rather than the hardware that HTC manufactures, leading to speculation that Google is the real target, especially considering that Android sales are surpassing the iPhone's. With HTC countersuing Apple, Microsoft siding with HTC over Android, and Apple trying to stop import of Nokia phones, it seems like Apple has set off a patent Armageddon in the mobile space."

    If we can pay for a first post on Slahsdot, we can pay to have your grandma assassinated.

    Food for thought.

      If we can pay Slashdot to have your first post fail, we can pay the USPTO to destroy you. And we will.

      P.S. No need for assassinations, those aren't allowed in the App Store.

    The word is "lose", loose means something totally different, I may not be the best speller in the world but can people try real hard to get this simple world spelled correctly?

    WTF? Why is this flamebait?

    Same reason you're redundant - failure to sufficiently praise the Holy Turtleneck.
