Just a day ahead of iPhone 5 launch, Apple seems to be heading into legal trouble over the much-awaited device. Taiwanese electronic giant HTC aims to block iPhone 5's import in the US for patent violation. The Taiwanese manufacturer claims that Apple's new iPad and the upcoming iPhone 5 infringe upon two of its patents that ensure reliable data transfer in large volumes, according to a story in the Bloomberg Businessweek. The company has filed a case in the International Trade Commission in this matter.
According to a story in Korea Times, Samsung has also decided to file a patent infringement complaint against Apple over the new iPhone's 4G LTE patent infringement. As per the report, the South Korean company is targeting the European and US markets with this lawsuit. This development came soon after reports said Apple will be using 4G data transfer technology in the upcoming edition of iPhone.

:angel:

I'm hoping Apple gets a huge boot shoved up its rear end for being such an ignorant bully.

Awaiting to see what happens for sure.
