HTC da in judecata Apple

Cei de la HTC au inaintat un nou proces impotriva celor de la Apple curtii de judecata din Delaware.
Ei afirma ca cei de la Apple se fac vinovati de incalcarea a trei brevete detinute de ei.
Brevetele implica iPhone, iPad si computerele Mac, deci HTC ataca aproape intreaga gama de produse Apple.
Dupa cum bine stiti, cele doua companii sunt implicate in batalii legale de cateva luni deja.



Ce este mai josnic este faptul ca HTC a declarat recent ca este dezamagita de tentativa celor de la Apple de a-i da in judecata in loc sa fie competitivi pe piata si iata ca si ei recurg acum la aceleasi tactici.
Deocamdata ITC a gasit compania HTC vinovata de incalcarea brevetelor Apple, dar cei de la HTC vor cere o reevaluare acestei decizii.
Iata si comunicatul de presa al celor de la HTC:
