BREAKING...HTC Sues Apple: Moto-Goog Patent Backlash Starts September 7, 2011, 4:30 PM ET By Tiernan Ray blogs.barrons.com Another day, another tech lawsuit. Bloomberg’s Phil Milford and Susan Decker this afternoon report Taiwan’s HTC ( 2498TW) has sued Apple ( AAPL) over four patents it says are infringed by the iPhone and the iPod, and has requested an injunction against sales of those devices. But today’s suit is a little more interesting than most. The patents at issue that were held by Motorola Mobility ( MMI), and are among nine patents that originated with Moto, Palm, which was later bought by Hewlett-Packard ( HPQ), and OpenWave Systems ( OPWV), all of which patents were acquired by Google ( GOOG) in the last year, write Milford and Decker. The patents brought forward by HTC were transferred to HTC by Google on September 1st, according to documents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. OpenWave last week filed its own suit against Apple over infringement, as well as a suit against Research in Motion ( RIMM). Apple shares are up 8 cents at $384.01 after rising 1% during the regular session.
