There's a fresh new twist in the never ending Apple / HTC patent battle. The Taiwanese handset manufacturer is hitting back against Cupertino using newly obtained firepower: nine patents picked up from Google last week. The patents, which began life under Palm, Motorola and Openwave Systems, were transferred to HTC on September 1st. So much for the whole sitting down and not suing thing.
lets face it. in the end everyone is going to settle. all this is just a disturbance tactic to halt the other company's innovation so that they can secretly continue to innovate behind the scenes in the hope to go one step ahead of the other company. this is so that they will end up with the greater market share in the end which is really the big fish. it is not uncommon in business to see companies suing each other for patents. but these types of things usually just end up getting settled.
Yeah rather an excuse to delay time so that it doesn't get delivered to the market as fast as the competitors.
realistically... all of this is just shit talking on the legal scale... nothing is really going to come of it..
The troll gets trolled! I can't really blame HTC for this though, how else are they going to defend themselves from apple.
