The U.S. International Trade Commission launched an investigation on Sunday into Apple's state that HTC was continuing to infringe during one of that patents in violation from a December order to cease. The ITC, a federal agency while using the capability to ban imports of devices found to infringe on U.S. patents, today rejected Apple's request for an unexpected emergency order banning the importation about the Taiwan handset maker's phones, comprising the One X and Evo 4G LTE.
"The commission finds that Apple has not yet demonstrated the propriety of temporary emergency action here," the ITC wrote, as quoted by Bloomberg. "The commission wouldn't direct Customs to detain all subject HTC products simply because commission needs the feedback need to decide if the respondents are still violating the commission's limited exclusion order."
Imports of your One X and Evo 4G LTE were held up in May by U.S. Customs, which in fact have to inspect the devices make certain they weren't infringing on Apple's patent. However, immediately after weeks in limbo, the phones were slowly permitted to enter the U.S.
Apple had complained last month for that ITC that HTC made misleading statements to Customs officials within the devices to secure their importation.
