HTC Files Patent Case Against Apple Using Google Patents !

It’s another wild twist in the ongoing legal dispute between HTC and Apple. Taiwanese handset maker HTC has just filed suit against Apple for patent infringement. HTC’s ammunition comes in the form of nine patents obtained from Google on September 1st. 
The patents come from Palm, Motorola, and OpenWave Systems oringally. Google reportedly bought the entire lot in the last year. Some of the patents are being used in the new case HTC just filed, and several are being amended to the ongoing U.S. International Trade Commission case in Washington.
This marks a change in strategy for Google. While the Android maker is not going out and filing cases itself, it appears to be willing to share it patents with partners to protect them from infringement cases. If the acquisition of Motorola goes off as planned, Google is going to have a lot more patents to share, as well.
