Apple has announced that they’ve filed a lawsuit against HTC for infringement of 20 Apple-owned patents. The lawsuit has been filed simultaneously with U.S. ITC and U.S. District Court and claims HTC infringing on iPhone patents related to UI, underlying architecture and hardware.
Steve Jobs’ jab at HTC reads as follows:
“We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”
It will be interesting to see HTC’s move but for now, it seems countersuing Apple is on the cards.

Kudos to Apple, they finally decided to put their feet down. I knew there was a reason why all the newer SmartPhones had a similar look and feel. At the time I really couldn’t put a finger on it…but now it’s dawned on me… =) j/p I think when this is all said and done, and the dust have settled, Apple will have created a bigger and better device, and someone else will once again be playing catch up and trying to replicate Apple’s success.
