HTC slaps Apple with two more patents from acquired HP portfolio

While it's not quite as protracted as the long, slow slug-out between Apple and Samsung, HTC's patent contentions with Cupertino have just been augmented, with two more filings tossed into the pot. The IP in question originally belonged to HP, before being scooped up by the Taiwanese phone maker and pertains to Apple Remote Desktop and Apple Profile Manager along with other embedded network features in iOS and OS X. Apple's run of luck in this area might not be the greatest just now, but then they do say things come in threes.
