Reminiscent of the Macintosh involved in the patent war would really help Apple in the coming lawsuit. This time around, they planned to sue HTC for allegedly infringing on its patent. However, it remains unclear if other companies would end out being sued for this issue. But how far will this fight go on from here?
HTC lawsuit could be the first of many as Apple stakes its territory in the smartphone industry. Other players such as Motorola, Samsung, even Sony Ericsson, might find themselves in the crosshairs later. Even if this particular lawsuit does favor Apple; which could lead to potential showdown between IT giants such as Google and Microsoft. However, there is some technicality issues which could turn against Apple as it is not possible for them to monopolize the whole smartphone touch-screen market.
In this early stage, Steve Jobs and co. only named patent but they did not specify how its sees HTC violating these patents. Once, the company begins filling in the blanks and matching up the puzzles, we would be able to have a clearer picture as to the strategies of Apple. Regardless of how far this issue might go, Apple's actions has clearly underline that they want to put the kibosh on iPhone look-alikes. Even as far as when the iPhone was first launched sometime three years ago, it is clear that Mr. Jobs did made a point that ensure iPhone would secure a unique niche in the market. On the inaugural presentation unveiling the iPhone, 200 patents has been filed by Apple regarding the its technology. Since then, Apple's executives have repeatedly stated that they would defend those patents. But if there is any quarter who plans or attempt to violate those patents, Apple would not hesitate to have legal actions against them.
