Fair play for HTC hitting back at apple over their ridiculous lawsuit a while back trying to get the import of all HTC phones banned in the US due to patent infringement.

But this just goes even further to show how ridiculous patents have become, at least in the US.

Retarded!

This is just a Flow Chart! How can you patent a flow chart?

This is just how a phone works! Come on.

You can't blame HTC, they didn't start this whole thing.  Apple has way more ridiculous patents, but seriously something is wrong here.

FFS Apple.

The whole patent system really needs fixing at some point.
