This time Apple claim that smartphone
makers HTC have infringed their patents, and have filed a complaint against the
US International Trade Commission (ITC) seeking an inquiry into the matter.
Just a
few weeks ago, it was Apple and Samsung going head to head over the alleged copying
of designs and technology. Now, Apple
are taking on the third-biggest mobile phone maker, by stock market value. Not for the first time either, as last year
the American technology company filed a similar complaint against HTC accusing
it of infringing as many as 20 of its patents.
Last year,
HTC launched a counter attack, claiming that Apple was guilty of infringing
patents held by the Taiwanese company.
They even went as far as trying to get iPhones, iPads, and iPods banned
from sale in the US
HTC have
resolutely denied Apple’s allegations: "HTC
is dismayed that Apple has resorted to competition in the courts rather than
the market place," said Grace Lei, HTC's general counsel.
