HTC has just won one of many patent wars ...the war continues with Apple against the world (Samsung, Motorola and many others). "HTC is claiming victory in a patent dispute with Apple after a ruling by the High Court in London. The judge ruled that HTC had not infringed four technologies that Apple had claimed as its own. He said Apple's slide-to-unlock feature was an "obvious" development in the light of a similar function on an earlier Swedish handset. Apple has also cited the patent in disputes against firms using Google's Android system software."
