No, Google 'lends' its patents to HTC so they they can sue Apple for:
- a way to upgrade software wirelessly;
- a way to transfer data between a microprocessor and a support chip;
- a method to store user preferences, and
- a way to provide consistent contact between application software and a radio modem.
- an interface that lets the user add identifiers such as .com or .org;
- an interface that enlarges characters being typed;
- a way to display information on mobile devices;
- and status bars that let a user check phone calls, text messages or calendar events.
That doesn't cause as much as a stink as anything Apple does, though.
