Yesterday, we reported that Apple has announced that they will be suing HTC for over 20 iPhone-related patent infringements. Today, TechCrunch is reporting that a Google spokesperson said yesterday that they “stand behind” HTC.
We are not a party to this lawsuit. However, we stand behind our Android operating system and the partners who have helped us to develop it,” a Google spokesperson emailed us.
According to the report, most of the alleged patent infringements were about the Android operating system, which Google created. HTC is also the manufacturer for Google’s Nexus One smartphone.
