Apple’s patent fight against handset maker HTC has all the makings of a Gunfight At The OK Corral. Except Apple is there with guns, and poor old HTC has a pocket knife. John Paczkowski in AllThingsDigital:
A Deutsche Bank analysis of yearly patent filings by Apple (AAPL), HTC and Google (GOOG) reveals that Apple is by far the leader and HTC the laggard. Over the past few years, Apple has amassed some 3,000 patents, HTC just 58.
Ouch.
