Yesterday we have posted an article mentioning that Apple filed a lawsuit against HTC for infringing on 20 Apple patents related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. When HTC heard about this, HTC mentioned the following..

this is apparently coming totally out of the blue for them, since Apple hasn’t even served the complaint yet. We have been innovating and patenting our own technology for 13 years. We’ve just learned that Apple submitted over 700 pages of exhibits to the District Court, which is a little nuts. In addition, the ITC complaint lists a number of specific HTC handsets as exhibits, including the Nexus One, Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro2, Tilt II, Pure, Imagio, Dream / G1, myTouch 3G, Hero, HD2, and Droid Eris. That’s really a full range of HTC phones, running both Android and Windows Mobile, with and without Sense / TouchFLO. Interestingly, the Android sets are specifically included because they run Android, while the WinMo sets are called out specifically for including DSP chips, not anything to do with Windows Mobile.

Now, we started hearing few comments from Google in this regards. Why? Because, Google’s Nexus One was manufactured by HTC Corporation and there plenty of HTC devices are running Android OS.

Our source received the following message from a Google Spokesperson

“We are not a party to this lawsuit. However, we stand behind our Android operating system and the partners who have helped us to develop it,”

Interesting enough, Apple have not mentioned Google name in its 700 pages of exhibits yet. We just have to wait and see where this leads to.
