HTC, Qualcomm scramble to rework HTC One chip design to avoid import ban Oct 2nd 2013, 14:30, by Loek Essers, IDG News Service HTC and Qualcomm are reworking a radio chip for the HTC One smartphone in order to avoid a U.S. ban on imports of patent-infringing technology, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) made a preliminary ruling last week that Taiwan's HTC had infringed on two Nokia patents. The infringed patents cover a method for receiving and transmitting radio signals, and a method for eliminating unwanted signals. Because this preliminary ruling raises the chances of a ban on U.S. imports of infringing HTC products, HTC is working with chip manufacturer Qualcomm to alter the design of a component for its flagship One smartphone, according to the Wall Street Journal, citing anonymous sources. While only older HTC phones were listed in the case, HTC's One and other new devices also use the same technology that could be banned by the ITC, the paper reported. Neither HTC nor Qualcomm immediately responded to requests for comment. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Media files: htc_one_photo01-100032134-small.jpg
