Still, what a CV booster if HTC comes out of it clean.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/
With Apple's legal team on their arse, I doubt they will, though...]]>Mar 3rd 2010 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/Yeah but not Google's as well.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/
I have a feeling the difference between lawyers in the top 99% and lawyers in the top 98% aren't that great. I think HTC can afford adquate representation.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/Mar 3rd 2010 2:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/
The "top 99%" is literally the better half of the top 98%. So let's imagine that the NFL represents the top 98% of all football-playing athletes of football age in the US. The top 99% includes Drew Brees and Jared Allen. The top 98% doesn't - it has JaMarcus Russel and Dewayne White.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/Mar 3rd 2010 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/Mar 3rd 2010 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/However, given the open spot, can one assume their previous representation proved inadequate, regardless of the price? ]]>Mar 3rd 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/As long as these guys fuck CrApple over I am happy.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/Which is why companies have to build massive IP portfolios, since the best legal defense in this case isn't to try and argue that 20 patents are invalid since the amount of work that would require is insane and the likelihood of you actually getting all 20 invalidated is pretty much zero. You basically have to do what every company dose in this sort of case-sue Apple back by digging through your giant patent chest for a bunch of similarly ridiculous patents. Then everyone signs a cross-licensing agreement and the lawyers win.
I just hope that HTC has large enough of an IP portfolio to win this one, although since it looks like they're really trying to go after all of Android, Google will have to do something to help back HTC up here since a loss for HTC is an even bigger loss for Android. ]]>Mar 3rd 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/

lol HTC is not a small company. They might not have that many branded phones, but they probably manufacture most of the smartphones people use around the world.]]>Mar 3rd 2010 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/03/htc-is-hiring/

With those kind of numbers you keep Microsoft as a friend (or partner as they like to say) and you piddle on Apple.

In regards to the merits of Apple's lawsuit, I find it hard to believe that HTC's small U. S. design house would resort to stealing Apple's patents, most that are bogus, who would want to steal that crap.
