Apple prevails against HTC before ITC ALJ

CNET notes:

The ITC administrative law judge's initial determination was that HTC infringed on two of the 10 patents Apple had filed a complaint over in March 2010, according to an HTC statement. The ITC still needs to make a final ruling on the complaint. A loss carries the threat that HTC's products would be banned from coming into the U.S., and Apple only needs to get a favorable decision on one of the patents.

As indicated in the story, this is a decision by an administrative law judge at the ITC. The decision is reviewed by the ITC itself.

Reuters reported: "We are confident we have a strong case for the ITC appeals process and are fully prepared to defend ourselves using all means possible," said HTC General Counsel Grace Lei in an email statement.

At issue are phones that run Google's Android mobile operating system.
