Apple sues HTC for patent infringement, heightens Android showdown
Apple is getting more protective of its intellectual property, announcing a new patent infringement lawsuit against smart phone manufacturer HTC.
In a statement, Apple said it filed the suit against HTC for infringement of 20 patents dealing with the iPhone. Two complaints were filed concurrently in U.S. International Trade Commission and in U.S. District Court in Delaware.
"We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We've decided to do something about it," said Apple CEO Steve Jobs, in a statement. "We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours."
