<http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/apple-htc-one-x-and-htc-evo-4g-lte-banned-indefinitely-us/>Thanks to Apple, the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE have been banned ‘indefinitely’ from the US (Update) <http://www.digitaltrends.com/users/jvancamp/> May 17, 2012 By <http://www.digitaltrends.com/users/jvancamp/>Jeffrey Van Camp <http://cdn2.digitaltrends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/htc-one-x-evo-4g-lte-us-customs-banned.png> The US Customs agency has 'indefinitely' delayed the importation of the HTC One X for AT&T and HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint due to alleged patent infringement and an ITC victory Apple won last December. If you’ve wanted to know when the patent wars would get out of hand, mark your calendars. Apple has been successful at delaying a few Samsung products in Australia and Germany, but on May 16, 2012 the litigation has gotten real for all of us in the United States. Because of Apple’s claims of patent infringement, the <http://www.digitaltrends.com/cell-phone-reviews/htc-one-x-review/>HTC One X for AT&T and the <http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-evo-4g-lte-impressions-a-good-reason-to-consider-sprint/>HTC EVO 4G LTE for Sprint have been delayed ‘indefinitely’ at US Customs as the agency investigates if the devices are still breaking Apple patents. All of HTC’s phones, and most electronic devices, are manufactured in China and other regions of the world. They must be imported into the United States to be sold here. “The US availability of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order,” HTC told Digital Trends, in a statement. “We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval. The HTC One X and HTC Evo 4G LTE have been received enthusiastically by customers and we appreciate their patience as we work to get these products into their hands as soon as possible.” The US Customs investigation dates back to an order by the US International Trade Commission (ITC) last December. The<http://www.digitaltrends.com/apple/apple-lands-jab-to-android-with-legal-victory-over-htc/> ITC ruled that HTC phones did violate one of Apple’s patents — a patent (US <http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5946647.html>5,946,647) related to detecting data items within otherwise unformatted content. HTC had until April 19 to fix the problem or face the ban of all infringing phones. Though the One X and EVO 4G LTE were both unveiled after the order went into effect, and the One X has already been on sale at AT&T, the ITC order was extremely broad, allowing US Customs to ban the importation of all HTC “personal data and mobile communications devices” that run Android and infringe on the patent. If this problem isn’t cleared up quickly, the upcoming <http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/droid-incredible-4g-lte-impressions-third-times-a-charm-for-htc/>Droid Incredible 4G LTE by HTC and the <http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-one-v-impressions-pictures/>HTC One V could also face investigation and ban. According to the statement above, HTC believes it has met the ITC requirements and no longer infringes on Apple’s patent, but US Customs has decided to check to make sure. Digital Trends has reached out to HTC, Apple, Sprint, and AT&T for comment on this matter, but has not heard back from any party. We’ll keep you updated. (Update: HTC gave us the same statement that it gave to The Verge and some other sites.) Update 5/17/2012: <http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/16/3024889/htc-one-x-evo-4g-lte-custom-android-build-apple-patent-linkify>The Verge claims that HTC’s US One X and EVO 4G LTE phones should be in compliance with Apple’s patent. The US versions of these phones apparently remove the “data tapping” feature and have other changes like a different settings screen. The patent in question has to do with when you click on a phone number or email address inside of a text or email. Before, when you tapped on a phone number in a text or email, a menu would pop up giving you a list of options. Now, it just goes straight to the phone’s dialer. That menu is apparently a patented idea by Apple. The international versions of both phones still have the functionality. We still do not know if US Customs agrees. As far as we know, the devices are still detained.
