War of the patents: Apple gains an important victory vis-a-vis HTC

the American Commission of the international trade (ITC) estimates that Taiwanese violates two patents of Apple. HTC appealed but in the event of new defeat, the importation of its terminals in the USA could be threatened.

Apple has just gained an important sleeve vis-a-vis HTC. Let us recall that the apple has multiplied for several months the legal offensives against the specialists in the Android terminals, estimating that certain manufacturers violate its patents. A manner of limiting in the courts the increasingly strong competition of OS of Google in the market of the smartphones?

The apple deposited two complaints against HTC in 2010 and a few weeks ago, estimating that the manufacturer violates 25 of his patents. This Friday, the American Commission of the international trade (ITC) sliced, giving reason to Apple for 2 patents (felt sorry for of 2010) related on the treatment of contents multimedia and the treatment of information since an email.

Fundamental technology

the breach is thus open. HTC appealed and a special subcommittee will consider the question next December. But if the decision is confirmed, HTC could be seen prohibiting to export some of its models in the United States. A first.

HTC which was said already “dismayed” by the multiple attacks of Apple estimates that nothing is played since this decision is only “one stage among much of others in the legal procedure”.

Remain that this decision could make oil task, for the greatest happiness of Apple. The accused patents are not exploited only by HTC but by the majority of the manufacturers of smartphones Android, technologies in question forming integral part of mobile OS of Google.

If the decision of the ITC were confirmed, Apple could then continue many manufacturers and prohibit the export of their terminals. Unless Google decides as fast as possible to rewrite part of the code of Android…

What will be complex, the two patents in question cover “fundamental” technologies in Android. Business to be followed.
