AppleInsider | Google, T-Mobile petition ITC to allow Android to freely infringe Apple's iOS

While delaying the launch of Android 4.0 in the wake of Steve Jobs' passing, Google has filed an amicus curiae brief in parallel with US carrier T-Mobile, both of whom ask that the International Trade Commission not ban HTC's Android products, regardless of their infringement of Apple's intellectual property. The filings clearly acknowledge that Apple isn't simply seeking royalties from Android licensees to cover patent infringement in the manner Microsoft has.
