Apple has filed a grievance with the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the U.S. District Court in Delaware alleging that HTC Corp has infringed on Apple’s iPhone patents that involve both hardware and user interfaces. “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs. “We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.” Apple believes HTC has infringed on 20 total patents.
