Previously, Apple has filed the International Trade Commission (ITC) HTC violating conditions 10 patents owned by "apple". On the 6th week (16 / 7), ITC has taken the first verdict, that HTC violation 2 of 10 patents mentioned above.
The decision has dealt heavily in ambitious HTC, dragging the share price of manufacturer from Taiwan to the lowest level within six months. The HTC is still awaiting final determination of the ITC.Worst case occurs, HTC might face a ban on the import of their smartphones to the U.S. market.

It is also considered a very wise move of "giant" Google, the stand out supporting one of the main partners using the Android operating system, before an opponent uncomfortable as Apple. Some sources said that Google will apply to both the financial support measures for HTC in this case.
