-- HTC is getting sued by Replevix over technology which allows it to “[load] computer games on mobile phones without comprising memory”. Replevix got the technology when it bought UK company Tao in July, and later “obtained a license to use Tao’s intellectual property from another company that had purchased those rights”. The odd thing is that HTC agreed to pay more than $3.5 million for the technology in May, but the article doesn’t make it clear whether HTC is now refusing to pay or Replevix is demanding more money. A Google (NSDQ: GOOG) search for Replevix only returns results in relation to the lawsuit. (China Post)
