Some background for you folks first: the state of Patent law in America is righteously fucked. This American Life recently ran an article investigating the companies who are filing patent-violation lawsuits en masse, and found that they’re shell corporations within shell corporations, who’ve acquired masses of patents, and license them out to other companies who do all the dirty work of violating lawsuits.

So we’ve been reporting about the various lawsuits flying back and forth in front of the ITC between Apple and other tech giants—recently HTC lost big time when the ITC ruled that it had violated several of Apple’s patents (Though they did not specify which ones publicly) So why is Apple so adamant about getting HTC and Samsung to bow before the Cupertino giant?

Apparently it’s all about Google. Samsung, HTC, and others that will probably soon feel the wrath of Jobs are obviously all the manufacturers of the various Android cell phones–currently the only serious contender against iPhone in the smartphone war. (No Blackberry. You do not get invited to this party.)

If this patent ruling holds up, these developers will be hamstrung in their ability to produce the phones UNLESS they submit to Apple and pay for the use of the patents. For those of you who already own Android phones, this won’t affect you, but for future Android customers it could mean an increase in prices.

So, legit move by Apple, or dick one? YOU TELL US.
