HTC 'Willing to Negotiate' with Apple (AAPL) Over Patents

July 26, 2011 9:31 AM EDT
HTC and Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) have been locked in patent battles, with each side taking a win over the last few months.

And HTC is willing to negotiate a settlement. According to Bloomberg, HTC's CFO, Winston Yung, said the company is "open to having discussions."

But terms of a deal must be "fair and reasonable."

Late in June, HTC won an International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling covering two patents, while Apple saw a victory for two patents just a few weeks later.

No discussions have taken place between the two companies as of yet.

Apple is trading modestly higher Tuesday morning.
