In a closely watched case, the U.S. International Trade Commission on Monday ruled that Taiwanese cell phone maker HTC is violating an Apple patent and ordered an import ban on some of the company products.
The organization found that HTC devices infringed on two claims related to an Apple patent. However, the ban will not take effect until April, the ITC said in a ruling, giving time for carriers to make transition plans and for HTC to demonstrate ways it has avoided infringement (by working around the patent, dropping infringing features or other means).
