Apple Accuses HTC of Abusing Essential Patents

Let's not get crazy. Apple makes a great smartphone. But so does everyone else, now. So the only way to combat this is to sue everyone on earth.

I agree. Apple does make a great smartphone. I won't take that away from them. But they're resorting to anti-competitive practices now. Apple needs to chill. I could see if sales numbers were down but come on. They know their products are gonna sell anyway. The sheep aren't going anywhere and the iPhone is available on more carriers than ever. Hell T-Mobile is even refarming their spectrum. Apple has nothing to be worried about honestly. iPhone sales are their highest and will continue to be.

HTC and other manufacturers need to be more careful so they can avoid this type of nonsense in the future. They need to stop giving Apple a reason to phuck with them. A patent is a patent. If it belongs to someone else, either get permission or create your own damn patent. Even if it is something idiotic like the way a certain feature works per say.
