Taiwan-based HTC confirmed that they’re willing to talk to the iPhone maker for patent infringements. HTC’s CFO Winston Yung said to Bloomberg they’re “open to having discussions” provided the terms are “fair and reasonable.”
Yung also confirmed that although they’re were having an on and off discussions with Apple, no formal talks have been conducted after the ITC ruling, which claimed HTC to infringe two Apple patents.
Despite infringing two patents, HTC still has an equal leverage on the lawsuit due to ITC’s previous ruling of Apple infringing two S3 Graphics patents. HTC recently acquired the graphics company.
