HTC had asked the court to ban imports of several Apple
products in to the US
citing patent infringements. However, The
US International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that Apple did not violate
patents as claimed by HTC in a complaint lodged last year.
This is a further knock to HTC, whose shares fell 6% after
the ruling. Over the summer the
Taiwanese phone maker was also found to have infringed two iPhone patents in a
case brought by Apple at the ITC. Despite
the result, HTC are sticking to their guns.
"This is only one step of many in these
legal proceedings. We are confident we have a strong case for the ITC appeals
process and are fully prepared to protect our intellectual property," said
Grace Lei, HTC's general counsel.
