A U.S. trade agency said it will review a judge’s finding that HTC Corp. infringed two Apple Inc. patents, a decision that could lead to a ban of HTC’s Android-based phones in the country.
An ITC judge determined July 15 that HTC’s Android-based smartphones infringed two Apple patents, while no violation occurred for two others. The six-member commission will review infringement and validity on all four patents and whether a correct interpretation was made on terms within three of the patents, according to a notice yesterday on the ITC’s website.
