HTC has been accused of infringing 20 patents owned by Apple that are used in the iPhone.
Apple said the patent infringements covered technology used in the iPhone interface as well as its “underlying hardware and architecture.”
HTC makes phones for many firms including Google and was behind the Nexus One handset.
In a statement Apple boss Steve Jobs said: “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it.
“We’ve decided to do something about it,” he said. “We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.” (via BBC News - Apple sues HTC over phone patents)
