Seems Apple is now a Company on the offensive side of a new Lawsuit. I kind of thought we may see something like this when I read some of the reviews about the new htc devices. They look very nice and up till recently only Apple was able to accomplish certain Touch Screen abilities. It's worth noting Apple did nothing against Palm, even though that was a similar situation.
Apple has decided to go after HTC instead.
CALIFORNIA—Apple® today filed a lawsuit against HTC for infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. The lawsuit was filed concurrently with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) 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 Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”
