Nokia may sue HTC over design similarities between 8X and Lumia 820

Two of the biggest companies to have showcased upcoming devices that will be running Windows Phone 8 are HTC and Nokia. And, according to Neowin, there might be a legal war between them. According to unnamed sources, Nokia might be preparing to file a lawsuit against HTC because of the similarities in design between the HTC Windows Phone 8X and the Nokia Lumia 820.The original report by PC-Tablet.com says, “The reports are saying Nokia is preparing to get HTC 8X banned in various parts of the world from going on sale when it will launch in November. Nokia has said in reports that the front-face of HTC 8X looks identically same as of the Lumia 820 followed by side-curves of the phone body.”This could be problematic for all parties involved, as Microsoft probably won’t let the launch of its new entry into the smartphone operating system market get screwed up because of in-fighting between brands selling the same OS on different hardware.Click here for full story
