Apple has filed yet another complaint with the U.S. ITC, this time alleging more patent infringement from Taiwanese-based smartphone/tablet maker HTC.
The company initially filed a complaint against HTC last March, claiming they were infringing on 20 patents. HTC then counter-sued Apple, asking the ITC to halt all imports of iOS devices due to alleged patent infringement on 5 of HTC's own patents.

Says HTC of the new suit (via PCW):

HTC is dismayed that Apple has resorted to competition in the courts rather than the market place.


The company says it will fight all the past and present claims and defend their own patents.

Apple sold 17 million iPhones last quarter while HTC sold 9.8 million smartphones.
