Apple said on Tuesday that it had filed lawsuits against HTC, the Taiwan-based phone maker, accusing it of infringing on 20 Apple patents tied to the iPhone. HTC makes the Nexus One, a phone designed and sold by Google that runs Google’s Android operating system.
The legal documents from the suit, which were discovered by the technology blog Gizmodo, cite patent infringement across numerous themes including touch screens, power conservation and the orientation of graphics on a mobile phone.
According to the documents, Apple is asking the court to place an injunction against HTC that would bar them from “making, using, selling and/or offering” phones that impinge on the patents in questions, within the United States.
