Apple has lashed out at HTC with a lawsuit alleging 20 different patent infringements related to the iPhone's user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. The violated patents center on touch and gesture features, including finger-swipe unlocking mechanisms, power conservation, touch-screen scrolling, and accelerometer capabilities. Apple seeks to ban the sale of HTC phones running Google's Android operating system as it allegedly copies iPhone functionality. Windows Mobile is also accused of stealing iPhone hardware decoders.

HTC manufactures the most popular Android handsets, including the first G1 and the Nexus One. Other phones singled out in the suit are the Touch Pro, Touch Diamond, Touch Pro2, Tilt II, Pure, Imagio, Dream, myTough 3G, Hero, HD2 and Droid Eris. According to Apple, HTC has repeatedly cribbed from the iPhone design.
