    Google is hoping that by providing patent umbrella to

    actively strengthen the fighting capacity of the Android

    camp, to help allies resist competitors attack, the

    primary rival is Apple. Next, the Android camp counter-

    attack was about to start a Google camp with Apple

    and Microsoft, and even litigation between the patent

    cockroaches melee will be more play more intense.

    In recent years, high-tech industries through patent

    war as a weapon to block competitors, not only

    boosted the operating costs, but also raised the

    barriers to entry. Actively engaged in mergers and

    acquisitions, the main purpose is to patent. Intellectual

    property patent on a highly competitive industry, the

    increasingly important to the future survival of the key.

    Apple patent invalid objection to the United Kingdom

    Intellectual Property Office. According to the

    speculation may be that two prior to the initial

    impression in the U.S. ITC against the patent on the

    operating system platform architecture and data

    transfer mechanisms.

    Apple to report the the HTC case, the U.S. ITC

    administrative law judge to make the initial impression

    HTC infringed

    Report for Apple HTC case [337-TA-710], the U.S.International Trade Commission (ITC), the

    Administrative Law Judge issued on July 15, 2011

    initial decision (ID), HTC violated 10 patents, including

    two patents in Apple ; U.S. 5,946,647 related to the

    computer system and method of implementation of an

    action in a structure on the data ", U.S. 6,343, 263

    involved in the serial transmission of data real-time

    signal processing systems".

    This case a preliminary decision (Initial Determination),

    identified the HTC products against Apple advocates

    are two of the 10 patents, including patent 5,946,647

    No. of 1, 8, 15 and 19 request items and 6,343,263

    Patent No. 1, 2, 24 and 29 claims.

    Case [337-TA-710] There is also a defendant as Nokia,

    Morgan Stanley estimates, assumptions HTC Each

    phone 4-5 U.S. dollars will pay Apple royalties this year

    (2011) estimated 50 million shipments, more than 9

    percent is the Android system to calculate the total

    premium of about 2.25 to $ 250 million.

    ITC initial impression infringement of these two Apple

    patent 647 and 263, also used against Motorola and

    Nokia. Nokia phone leading position has long been

    occupied, the cumulative number of important core

    patented technology, forcing Apple had reached a

    settlement with Nokia. Motorola since its inception in

    1928, master has accumulated a lot of the core patents

    should also be some bargaining chip in negotiations

    with Apple. Since 2003 Apple to buy Freescale 200

    patents. Freescale was Motorola's semiconductor

    division in 2004, an independent portal. Therefore,

    there is some cooperation between Apple and

    Freescale.

    However, entrants to this type of HTC, although by the

    Google Android open platform and similar destructive

    innovative attempt to open up a road, but seems to fall

    into the Android and Apple and Microsoft camp siege.

    HTC holding which chips are available, in addition to

    the acquisition of S3 Graphics to the patent, but also

    more chips to the job.

    This is an apple war Android camp, it now appears the

    apple slightly to stand upwind.
