HTC Seeks Ban on Apple Products in U.S.

"We are taking this action against Apple to protect our intellectual property, our industry partners, and most importantly our customers that use HTC phones." said Jason Mackenzie, HTC's vice president for North America.
The complaint, coming after Apple sued HTC in March, claims that the iPhone maker violated five of its patents relating to mobile devices.
Analysts widely assumed that Apple's real target was its rival Google, highlighting an increasing tense friction between the two Silicon Valley titans.
The ITC is a popular medium for tech companies to resolve their disputes. While the regulatory body can't award monetary damages, it does have the authority to block products entering the U.S., which usually results in accelerated settlements -- taking just 12 to 14 months instead of a lawsuit which can drag on for years.
Last month, Microsoft sided with HTC by giving it legal ammunition in its battle with Apple.
HTC said it would release more details about the complaint shortly.
