Many are waiting for December 14 to come. This will mark the day when the International Trades Commission makes a public ruling on the Apple vs. HTC court case.
Recently, Apple filed four lawsuits against the well-known Japanese company HTC on the basis that they were are stealing Apple’s technology. One of the specific programs under speculation is the one that allows the reader to touch a number on the keypad and then it is shown on the screen. Now it may seem like a small matter, but Apple says that they are stealing everything that is making their newer phones special.
Analysts currently believe that the case is beginning to favor Apple, as the technology is almost identical in both phones.
To show that this is no game, HTC recently counter-sued, saying that Apple is actually stealing their technology, not vice-versa. This is not the first accusation made against Apple though. Several months ago, Google Android also had problems with Apple, each company saying that the other stole their technology.
This is not a problem that the common person can affect though. It is now up to the lawyers and CEOs to work this problem out, and now all we can do is wait.
