ITC judge says Apple failed to infringe on HTC’s patents in initial case, more rulings still to return

HTC has since lodged some additional patent infringement complaints with the International Trade Commission, but an ITC judge has now ruled on HTC’s first complaint against Apple from back in May of 2010, finding no violation of the patents in question at the portion of Apple. As FOSS Patents notes, however, the ruling hardly puts an end to the dispute between the 2 companies, and HTC certainly appears to be in it for the long haul. Its general counsel told CNET that “it is just one step of many in these legal proceedings,” and that, “we’re confident we now have a sturdy case for the ITC appeals process and are fully prepared to guard our intellectual property.”
