1:Apple has not taken the challenge from HTC lightly.2:On July 15th the US International Trade Commission upheld two claims in a larger patent suit Apple had filed against its rival.3:Earlier in the month, Apple had filed additional claims and MOSAID, a Canadian company, said it would also sue HTC, and Sony Ericsson, for patent infringement.4:The outcome of these cases will be of keen interest not just for HTC but for other handset-makers using Android: promoted as a free, open-source system, it is proving surprisingly expensive.5:This is because it relies on a host of basic features that may be subject to patents: how a screen is swiped with a finger, how a phone number embedded in an e-mail can be called by tapping it, and so on.

1:苹果公司也没有对HTC轻敌。2:在7月15日，美国国际贸易委员会支持了两项在更大专利方面诉讼的请求，这些都是苹果控诉其竞争者的。3:这个月早些时候，苹果又提起了更多的诉讼，并且加拿大的MOSAID公司也表示会以侵权起诉HTC和索爱。4:关心这些案子结果的不仅仅是HTC，还有其他使用安卓系统的手机制造商。安卓被宣传为免费、开放的系统，但是最终证明它是异常昂贵的。5:这是因为它要依赖一大堆基本的特征，而它们是属于专利的：像屏幕如何被手指滑开；一个电话号码如何被嵌入一封邮件中，只要轻触就可以拨打它，等等。
