On July 15th, local time, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) executive judge made a preliminary determination that the Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC infringed 2 of the 10 patents Apple controlled in March of this year. .
On July 18, HTC issued a statement to the reporter saying that the company had received a preliminary notice from ITC, but “HTC has not yet been informed of the full contents of the preliminary determination and the judge’s details of this judgmentâ€. At the same time, HTC stated that it will appeal and said that "complete countermeasures have been prepared to respond."
According to He Taiqing, a researcher at the Tuoba Research Institute in Taiwan, one of the two patents that was convicted of infringement was related to HTC's Android mobile phone user interface design, and the other involved Android hardware and software design. If the verdict goes into effect, it may It will have an impact on other handset manufacturers using Android systems.
HTC claims that there are complete measures
At present, Apple is suing HTC in two areas at the same time: one is the US District Court and the other is the US International Trade Commission (ITC). In contrast, ITC's judgment is usually faster.
In the prosecution strategy, Apple can be said to have eaten the HTC's "seven inches", about half of HTC mobile phone sales from the United States, once successfully sued in the US market, will effectively curb the HTC's current rapid growth momentum is currently represented by HTC The Android camp smartphone is posing a serious threat to Apple.
This initial ITC decision does not represent the final result. After ITC administrative judge's preliminary ruling, the case still needs to be examined and passed by a 6-member ITC committee. If the ITC committee also confirms HTC infringement, ITC will issue a restraining order prohibiting HTC infringement-related mobile phone products from being sold to the United States. .
In the statement, HTC Legal Inspector Lei Yiyu stated: “We have full confidence in the appeal and have fully prepared and will take all possible ways to defend our rights and interests.â€
The two HTC patents that were infringed were related to a system and method for performing an action on a structure in a computer, and a real-time signal processing system that provides continuous transmission of data (real- Time signal processing system for serially transmitted data). He Taiqing analyzed to the reporter that the patent infringement of the user interface is relatively easy to evade. HTC can circumvent this by making minor modifications to the relevant products. Another patent involving the Android software and hardware design will be troublesome if the verdict becomes effective. Will affect the sales of HTC.
For HTC, this verdict may force it to speed up its private settlement with Apple in order to avoid a bad situation where products are prohibited from being sold to the United States. In the end, the two parties negotiate certain compensation agreements, depending on who is the last player to hold the harder cards.
From the perspective of patent layout, Apple seems to have more advantages. Prior to this, Apple applied for a large number of patents on smart phones, and the advantage in patent reserves is even more obvious. HTC is also trying to gain more bargaining chips in other ways to bargain with Apple.
According to ITC's No. As a result of the investigation of case 337-TA-724, ITC also initially determined that Apple infringed HTC subsidiary S3 Graphics' patent HTC and announced the acquisition of S3 Graphics on July 6, 2011, apparently in response to the patent war on Apple.
Huawei is not afraid of Android
The ITC's verdict caused the industry's recent concern over the Android operating system patent issue to be upgraded again. As a series of patent issues broke out, people discovered that the free Android system was full of patented “land mines†and the overall cost of the Android system was rising dramatically.
Analyzed by He Taiqing, Android handset makers will appear to be polarized in the “Greater Evergrande†because patent litigation is finally settled in a private compromise and ultimately depends on the bargaining chips handed down by various mobile phone manufacturers.
He said that companies with more patent reserves will not be too worried. For example, Samsung, with a strong patent reserve, has advantages in the supply chain and can have more room to negotiate with Apple.
In an interview with the newspaper on July 18, Yang Xiaozhong, president of Huawei's terminal business department in China, said that Huawei is very strong in patent reserves and has more experience in handling patent disputes, so he is not worried about the ever-increasing Android patent warfare Huawei this year. It is estimated that 12 million smart phones will be sold in China alone, most of which are based on the Android system.
The relevant person in charge of Motorola expressed similar views when he was interviewed on July 18th. He believed that he had many years of patent reserves and he was not worried about Android patents.
He Taiqing analyzed with reporters that the current Android manufacturers are unlikely to unite to cope with the current patent litigation, because these Android vendors have very fierce competition with each other. Unless Google's developer Google stands to take responsibility, so far, Google has remained silent in the Android patent battle, leading some mobile phone manufacturers to dissatisfaction.
For some lower-priced Android phone manufacturers, the outbreak of patent warfare may have serious consequences.
The current price of Android smart phones is significantly reduced. China Unicom announced at the "China Unicom WCDMA Terminal Industry Chain Summit Forum" held in Shanghai on July 18th that it will be Unicom's most important move this year to increase its efforts to promote large-screen smart phones with a price of around RMB 1,000.
According to industry sources, the prices of components such as touch screens, display screens, and chips in the upper reaches remain high, while the smartphone prices are falling rapidly. The profitability of mobile phone companies is not satisfactory. In this case, the outbreak of Android patent issues may further reduce the profitability of some companies.

RGBW LED is kind of four color LED with 8 pins and it is a perfect substitute for 5050RGB LED.
Normally, when we connect the current for the three chips in the 5050 RGB it will emitting as white LED. But it might not pure white enough. Because it will more like pale pink or pale cyan instead of pure white and it don't have the perfect consistency as the RGBW LED, which means it can't meet some user's standard.
Because of those advantage, RGBW LED widely used in LED brightening Project, LED decorative light, LED panle light and so on.
