Apple Taps ITC to Kneecap Google.

"Apple has enlisted the patent court and the U.S. International Trade Commission in an effort to kneecap Google. The company this morning filed a lawsuit against HTC — which makes Google’s Nexus One, among other Android handsets — claiming the Taiwanese manufacturer has infringed on 20 of its patents 'related to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware.' But the move may have more to do with Android’s rapid growth than actual patent sins."
