ITC Rules Apple Does Not Infringe S3 Graphics Patents

Posted by Unknown on from the fighting-fire-with-fire-burns dept.

First time accepted submitter boley1 writes "According to Cnet — S3 Graphics's case collapsed in their ITC suit, with the ITC ruling that Apple does not infringe on any of S3's patents. A big blow to HTC according to the report." So much for HTC buying a warchest; according to the ruling it looks like AMD/ATI actually owned the patents in question.

    Like how Apple invented the GUI, or the smartphone? Oh wait, they didn't... They just copied it from somebody, patented it and then sued everybody else for "infringement".

    Yes, because apple believes HTC is infringing on their patents. So because a company has been doing something longer, it's impossible that they could copy a new competitor's product(s) ? I just looked at images of that LG phone, and I think anyone who claims it's a copy is stretching things a bit. People complain that Apple's lawsuit over the Samsung tablet is crap, and those two devices are much closer in design than the iPhone and this clunker.
