HTC CEO Peter Chou, who reacts to the U.S. International Trade Commission ruling that the company had violated two patents Apple iPhone, a smartphone provider believes "quite patent to make a stand," actually warnings from Apple that could use newly acquired patents for the purchase of the S3 Graphics to use against the manufacturer of device IOS.
Chou said that even the lawyer thought HTC ICC executives did not violate patents for Apple.
If the decision is not revoked, Chou said that HTC is "confident that [is] a strong case" and that "war" in the smartphone customers should be fighting for market innovation, not through the courts.
On July 15, Apple earned at least a partial victory in its patent lawsuit against HTC, with the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled today that HTC violated two patents for Apple. The judge who ruled on the ITC to the provisions of the initial decision that HTC has violated two patents of the 10 involved in the trial, according to a company statement.
HTC promised from the beginning that he would appeal the decision, Grace Lei, HTC's general counsel stating "HTC vigorously fight these two remaining patents through an appeal to the commissioners of the ICC to take the final decision."
The case dates back to the ITC for the registration of Apple on July 12 that is applied to imports from the rest of the tip of a series of devices like HTC HTC Incredible Droid, Droid Incredible 2 Wildfire, myTouch 3G T-Mobile, T-Mobile myTouch Sliding 3G-enabled T-Mobile G1, T-Mobile G2, Evo 4G, Air, Desire, hero, Connect, Inspire 4G, 4G, Evo, Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt 4G, and tablet Flyer HTC.
Apple said the unauthorized use of several patents, the basic units on demand, including patents for operations scroll, rotation and scale on the touch screen and touch screens used in the instrumentation of vehicles, to prove his allegations.

In less extreme cases, "Mueller said:" The HTC may remove some features of its products, and can cause significant degradation of the user experience and quality of these equipment. "
It could also affect any Android device manufacturers, not just HTC. If software patents are not material and relevant to the Android code base common to all manufacturers of these devices depend to operate their products, Mueller said that the consequences could be catastrophic for the entire Android Market stating, " Apple may soon be in a strong position for a ban on imports of tens of device manufacturers.
