Apple has taken the International Trade Commission's month-old decision
finding HTC's Android gismos infringe only one of the patents it asserted and
letting it ship the products while it fixes the problem to the Court of
Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).
The patent-watching Foss Patents blog says Apple quietly lodged the appeal on
December 29.
The blog learned from an Apple filing with the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Illinois in a case against Motorola Mobility
that the ITC's administrative law judge had sided with Apple and found HTC
guilty of infringing Apple's US 6,343,263 real-time API patent but that that
decision had been overturned by the ITC's panel of six commissioners.
Apple's appellate brief isn't publicly available yet but the blog figures
Apple's probably complaining about more than just the real-time API patent

In the case of technology – as with mythology - the whole is often greater
(and more challenging) than the sum of its parts.
The chimera is a mythological beast of scary proportions. Not only is it

Individually, one might have a strategy to meet the challenge of a lion or a
goat head on. But when they conve... (more)
The explosion of mobile applications and IP-based data traffic on mobile
devices is fueling the migration to faster data rates and pushing the uptake
of 4G technologies. Service providers are busy with migration strategies and
upgrading their existing networks as stop-gap measures to allow an all-IP
based services platform. Carriers and handset vendors are rolling out
application portals as a way of differentiating their offerings while
providing better monetization and ARPU. User mobility is pushing the trend
for "anywhere, anytime" data technology, while applications are drivin... (more)
2012 is shaping up to be a challenging year for CIOs as they figure out how
to safely embrace the slew of mobile devices entering their networks.
Smartphones and tablets are seriously threatening the IT status quo, and CIOs

As smartphone users become more sophisticated, they are actively seeking out
the service provider they believe offers the best overall network for their
smartphone. Providers are learning that users are quick to switch if they are
unhappy with their existing service. Customers today expect their smartphone
to deliver high-bandwidth applications along with high quality voice
services. Service providers must look to alternative for "offloading" these
bandwidth-intensive applications if they are to keep up with this high
bandwidth demands. After years of serving as a nice-to-have ho... (more)
