Trade Body Says HTC Violating Apple Patents, Bans Some Imports
DECEMBER 19, 2011 AT 2:04 PM PT

In a closely watched case, the U.S. International Trade Commission on Monday ruled that Taiwanese cell phone maker HTC is violating Apple patents and ordered an import ban on some products.
However, the ban will not take effect until April, the ITC said in a ruling.
“Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has found a violation of section 337 in this investigation and has issued a limited exclusion order prohibiting importation of infringing personal data and mobile communications devices and related software,” the agency said. “The Commission has determined that exclusion of articles subject to this order shall commence on April 19, 2012.”
The ruling had been delayed several times.
