Apple Sues HTC Over iPhone Patents

This is still breaking, so we’ll have more coverage as the details of the litigation emerge.

Apple has sued HTC for infringement of Apple patents relating to the user interface and underlying hardware of the iPhone. While I don’t have my hands on a complaint yet, there’s a fair bet it involves the patent for capacitive touch screens Apple was recently awarded.

UPDATE: You can now download the relevant documents. I’ll try to get a look at them later today or this evening.
