so HTC can focus on innovation instead of litigation,” Peter Chou, CEO of HTC.

with HTC,”
“We will continue to stay laser focused on
product innovation.”

This patent infringement dispute started 2
years ago. Apple filed a complaint against HTC for infringing 10 patents on user
interface design. The International Trade Commission (ITC) had determined that
HTC infringed on 2 of the 10 patents, and HTC was banned to import mobile devices
and delayed the launch date. To read more about this, click here news.cnet.com.
