HTC files two counterclaims against Apple

HTC files two counterclaims against Apple
July 18, 2012 - 12:42 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - HTC has filed two counterclaims in ongoing litigation with Apple in the Southern District of Florida, claiming that the Cupertino-based hardware giant is infringing on patents acquired from Hewlett-Packard (HP) in December, The Verge reports.

The first patent covers "installation of network services in an embedded network server," which HTC claims Apple uses in pretty much its entire line of desktop and laptop computers, phones, tablets, and music devices.

The second concerns a "method and system for central management of a computer network," allegedly used in Apple Remote Desktop and Apple Profile Manager.

HTC was recently dealt a blow by the International Trade Commission, which dismissed five patents being used against Apple due to "lack of standing" - the intellectual property had been transferred to HTC from Google in a fairly transparent attempt to shore up the Android OEM against Apple's attacks, The Verge says
