HTC might have lost the initial determination in the ITC complaint against Apple but the Taiwanese mobile maker has vowed to “defend themselves.” The US ITC ruled that out of 10 Apple-asserted patents, HTC is infringing on 2 patents.
HTC claims they have a strong case for the ITC appeal, even stating that an ITC Staff Attorney independently argued at trial that HTC does not violate any of the 10 Apple patents.
HTC is also hinting to pull its recently acquired S3 Graphics in the legal mud by saying they could use S3 Graphics’ patent which ITC had ruled Apple to infringe upon.
It won’t be surprising if both companies agree to settle out of court.
