Unlike Motorola, Â HTCÂ has no plans on settling with Apple. Â HTCÂ is willing to fight to the end with Apple. Â HTCÂ feels confident they could win the patent case against them. Â Best of luck to them.
Cher Wang, chairwoman of HTC, revealed that her company has no intention of reaching a settlement with Apple, according to DigiTimes. She said that HTC remains confident in the face of patent infringement complaints from Apple, even though Samsung was found by a California jury to have violated Apple’s patented inventions.
HTCÂ also remains confident in the Google Android mobile operating system after Samsung’s setback. Wang said she believes Samsung’s loss is not necessarily a result of Android itself.
Wang cited her company’s ability to innovate as a key element in fending off patent infringement allegations from Apple. Once a rising star in the mobile space, HTC has recently faltered, failing to replicate the kind of success Apple has had in the high-end smartphone market.
HTC and Apple are engaged in a series of lawsuits in which each has accused the other of patent infringement. The litigation, which began in 2010, was predicted to become a “long and bloody battle” between the two companies.
