Yesterday we reported that Apple filed a lawsuit against HTC, for violating 20 patents at once related to iPhone. Today it became known that the matter will intervene Google, standing up for his Taiwanese partner.
However, Google not too active. So far, the case has ended only with statements that the company is ready to protect and support its partners who help develop the operating system. Android. As for HTC, then she is still reacting too restrainedly to the lawsuit brought against her. One gets the impression that the company's lawyers are evaluating the current situation.

Most observers are still convinced that the attacks Apple on the HTC - nothing more than an attempt to trip up your competitor, who is becoming more and more dangerous. In addition, such a victory will create obstacles for the development Android, which also plays into the hands of the “fruit company”.
Either way, the process will take a very long time. But in case of victory Apple (which is very unlikely, because such issues are extremely rarely resolved so radically), products HTC will be banned from sale in the United States. Well, or the company will get off with just a huge monetary fine.
