There's a big difference in using patents offensively and using them defensively. HTC didn't use those patents to attack, it's launching a counter-suit merely as a reaction to being attacked.
It's a brilliant masterplan by Google to protect their Android partners, I must say. If one of them gets attacked, Google slips them some patents so they can defend themselves.
Apple is the one who attacked, and there's no shame whatsoever in standing up against a bully.
How does tha, t go, Todays solutions are tomorrows problems. It will be interesting to see how this all goes over.

I wouldn't hope for either side to win (although leaning towards HTC 
), but that somehow, some law will be created to avoid the abuse of the patent system..
), but that somehow, some law will be created to avoid the abuse of the patent system..yea i completely agree. apple sees that it's better days have passed or passing. and they just don't want to go down with dignity so they try to sue anyone they can think of without proper grounds. idiots.......
go HTC!

"The lawsuit contends the Mac computer, iPhone, iPod, iPad, iCloud and iTunes are infringing patents for a way to upgrade software wirelessly; a way to transfer data between a microprocessor and a support chip; a method to store user preferences, and a way to provide consistent contact between application software and a radio modem."
That is an epic win lawsuit right there by HTC haha~

I know objectivity will be hard to find here, but to call Apple a "bully" is fairly laughable. Or rather, to single them out as such is.
And that doesn't include some of the more recent ones, such as Samsung vs. Apple, or HTC vs. Apple.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Or in this case, 25 wrongs don't make a right.
Feel free to resume cheerleading.

Apple's has been player hatin' on ALL smartphone makers since Day One. Apple has wanted to control the smartphone market ever since. Of course, now, Apple knows full well its consumers DO have choices and competition is a consumer's tool.
In short, long live Android! I loved it then and love it even more now! ;-)

I'll be laughing when apple wins, not because it's right, but because there are a lot of conservatives on these boards. These conservatives are going to support an american-made company that's been around forever over a cheap Taiwanese company that's only been worth looking at for a couple of years.
Don't know if it's because he's from Texas but I can't take his statement seriously. It's a joke, right? I mean SCO is a "good ol' american company" too, but man.. seriously?

I'm guessing you haven't followed how most of these patent was play out. As you said, Apple's multi-touch patent is a nuclear bomb. One which Apple was dumb enough to aim at the other children and try use as a weapon of mass-destruction.
The patents handed to HTC (along with the ones they already own) aren't any less potent. Now we have a nuclear deterrent. This standoff will most likely play out exactly as expected - each side will be forced to settle to avoid Mutually Assured Destruction. Then everyone can go back to their corners and do what they should be doing - developing new technologies and competing for market share by making more desirable products. To quote the movie Other People's Money: "Lawyers are like nuclear weapons. They have theirs so I have mine. As soon as you use one, they f@#k everything up."
The majority of these patents are a joke - none of the companies actually invented the technologies they have patents for. Multi-touch? Pinch-to-zoom? These were features of the Microsoft Surface 10 years before Apple even thought about the tablet or smartphone markets. Apple didn't invent the tablet, they didn't invent the smartphone, and they didn't invent any of the crucial technologies these platforms use. Hell, even IOS and OS X are based around BSD - not very different from Android's Linux roots.
Apple has a great talent for making beautiful designs, and wrapping existing technologies into a amazingly marketable devices, that usually look advanced enough to appear to be alien technology. From that point of view they are almost unbeatable. However, trying to pretend like they invented these concepts is just sad......1apple sued by HTC
this is great, apple get a taste of their own medicine
lol

So what? It shows that Apple wasn't some brilliant inventor that came up with something unique. It shows that that's the direction tech went in and would go even if there was no Apple.
Then there's something else I mentioned a while ago, here - the availability of technology part.
This I addressed here.To quote:
So just because there's now capacitive touchscreens, Apple can claim anything on their phones as their invention? Yeah, right.
