“The ITC website reveals that Apple filed another patent infringement complaint against Android device maker HTC on Friday, July 8, 2011. By my count, that’s Android-related lawsuit no. 48 (some disputes consist of multiple lawsuits),” Florian Mueller reports for FOSS Patents. “Apple asserts five patents, three of which are also being used against Samsung (in federal court, not before the ITC).”
“This is already Apple’s second ITC complaint against HTC,” Mueller reports. “The first one was filed on March 2, 2010 over ten patents.”
Mueller reports, “All of the accused products are Android-based. Apple’s complaint refers to two groups, the ‘Accused HTC Android Products’ and the ‘Accused HTC Capacitive Touch Panel Products,’ All of the products in the second group are also Android-based.”
