HTC has sent out a press release in response to the patent infringement lawsuit Apple recently fired in their direction. CEO Peter Chou is quoted:
Some people are now speculating that the Apple law suite against HTC is to warn other Apple competitors that they will not put up with other companies taking their patented ideas.
A Google spokesperson issued a statement yesterday indicating that the company will “stand behind” handset manufacturer HTC in its patent dispute with Apple.
Apple has announced that they have filed a law suit against HTC hardware manufacture for infringing on their patents. The suit, filed in US District Court in Delaware, alleges violation of “20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware,” says Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
