HTC Sues Apple Using Google Patents

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 7, 2011 @12:03PM from the litigate-or-die dept.

AlienIntelligence writes "Apparently to stay viable in the IP wars, HTC secured some patents from Google (who purchased them originally from Palm Inc., Motorola Inc. and Openwave Systems Inc.) on the 1st of September. The patents were used to fire a new salvo of shots across Apple's bow today, September 7th. HTC filed infringement claims against Apple in federal court in Delaware, suing based on four of those patents that originally were issued to Motorola. Additional complaints were filed with the U.S. ITC based on the other patents."

"but, but.. Apple started it!!" Well, boohoo. If your sister annoys you and you break her arm as a result, you're still doing wrong.
Have you met my sister?

Funny, I've never seen Google misspelled as Apple. That's the craziest typo I've ever seen.
