“Some of the patents that Apple alleges have been infringed are 15 years old and cover aspects of operating systems. As a result, some believe that the patents cannot just relate to HTC and believe the case may just be an opening salvo against other firms and possibly Google” as reported in a famous media site. 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.”
