Today HTC filed a lawsuit in an American court against Apple, accusing it of infringing 3 patents in the line of Macs and iDevices. Those from Reuters mentions the fact that HTC wants to receive compensation for the infringement of these patents and damages with a value 3 times higher than the compensation accusing those from Apple of knowingly infringing the patents.
Smartphone maker HTC Corp sued Apple Inc on Tuesday, claiming infringement of three patents through Apple's sale of Macintosh computers, iPhones, iPads and other devices.
The lawsuit filed in the US District Court in Delaware seeks to halt Apple's importation and sale of infringing products in the United States. It also seeks compensatory damages, triple damages for willful infringement, and other remedies.
HTC was sued by Apple for patent infringement and the Cupertino company requested a ban on the sale of HTC products in the US. Now those from HTC will make exactly the same requests in the American court against those from Apple, but it remains to be seen whether they will win the case or not. Below are the 3 patents that HTC claims Apple infringed when it produced and distributed Macs and iDevices:
- 7,765,414: Circuit and operating method for integrated interface of PDA and wireless communication system
- 7,672,219: Multipoint-to-point communication using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
- 7,417,944: Method for orderwire modulation
