Summary: HTC agreed to acquire a US company Dashwire Inc for $18.5m. On Aug 4, 2011 US International Trade Commission released the details of a July 1 ruling by an administrative law judge (ALJ) that some Apple products violated patents of S3 Graphics (another US compay HTC would buy for $300m), but that Apple's iPhone and iPad did not infringe S3 patents--"a finding analysts say reduces S3's use as a bargaining chip in HTC's legal battle with Apple."  On the other hand, Dashwire acquired the portfolio of Intellectual Ventures, "that has many patents related to smartphones."

("In 2005, Apple introduced electronic receipts at its stylish retail stores. More mainstream retailers found the checkout system difficult to replicate and, Ms. Miles said, worried that most shoppers were not quite ready for such a technological leap. Now, though, the rush to imitate Apple’s success is in full force")
