Apple One Step Closer To Winning Suit Against HTC
Although the courts have not made a final ruling, things are already looking good for Apple in its copyright infringement lawsuit against HTC. A few months ago, Apple filed suit against HTC because of similarities between its latest like of mobile phones and the Apple iPhone. Both companies have been in talks for quite some time, but Apple is not willing to back down. The International Trade Commission has decided that there are too many similarities between HTC’s new mobile phones and the iPhone for it to be a coincidence. Not only can Apple use the ITC ruling as evidence against HTC in court, it will also help the judge to see why Apple is so fired up in plain language.
A legal win against Apple will have major implications for the company, in more way than one. Although Apple just wants HTC to stop selling some of its most popular smart phones, HTC also manufacturers many of the electrical components that Apple uses to create the iPhone in the first place. It would take Apple a considerable amount of time to find an alternative supplier if HTC decided to stop doing business with the company. In other words, if Apple wins, HTC may opt to sever all ties with the technology giant.
If you want to get more information on mobile phone contracts online as well as the feud between Apple and HTC, look for a blog that is operated by a source with inside information. Technology experts may be able to explain legal jargon fairly well, but a news source that can talk to higher ups at HTC and Apple might be able to shed more light on the issues. It will likely be several months before the scrabble between Apple and HTC is settled, but Apple still plans on releasing all future products on schedule.
