Apple Attempts To Block Sale Of HTC Phones

Apple has its patent trolling hat on again, and has petitioned the ITC to block a number of HTC devices. Apple wants to stop the HTC Flyer tablet and its various smartphones for violating Apple’s patents. Apple’s claim is based on five patents for “software architecture and user interfaces in portable electronic devices, hardware for touch screens and movement sensors.”

This isn’t Apple’s first legal fight with HTC, and the pair had a back and forth over patents in early 2010, with Apple filing a complaint and HTC a counter-complaint. Apple also has ongoing legal fights with just about everyone in existence, including Samsung, Amazon, Kodak, Nokia and more.
