Thanks to Apple, the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE have been banned ‘indefinitely’ from the US

基本上HTC認為手機應該已經沒有問題了, 所以才送美國, 但是美國海關把他擋下來說是要確認是否已經是沒有問題.
但是從這篇來看
Apple lands jab to Android with legal victory over HTC
http://www.digitaltrends.com/apple/apple-lands-jab-to-android-with-legal-victory-over-htc/
事情似乎是沒這麼簡單.
從文裡的聯結可看到美國政府的禁止令

However, Apple and Nokia entered a settlement agreement, and on July 21, 2011, the Commission determined not to review the presiding ALJ’s termination of the investigation as to Nokia in the 710 investigation based on settlement.
Nokia 和 Apple 似乎已進入和解的階段但是HTC 似乎是沒有和 Apple 進入和解
On September 15, 2011, the Commission determined to review several issues regarding each of the four patents asserted in this investigation. 76 Fed. Reg. 58,537 (Sept. 21, 2011). The parties filed briefing on the issues under review, remedy, the public interest, and bonding. In addition, the following non-parties submitted comments on the public interest: the Association for Competitive Technology; Google Inc.; and T-Mobile USA., Inc. (“T-Mobile”).
Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s final ID and the
aforementioned briefing and comments, the Commission has determined that there is a violation of section 337 by reason of the importation and sale of articles that infringe claims 1 and 8 of the ’647 patent. The Commission has determined to reverse the ALJ’s finding of violation as to claims 15 and 19 of the ’647 patent and as to the asserted claims of the ’263 patent. The Commission affirms the ALJ’s conclusion that there has been no violation as to the ’721 and ’983 patents.
從2011,9,15就開始審查HTC的手機並確認有侵權的證據.
The Commission has further determined that the appropriate remedy is a limited exclusion order prohibiting the entry of personal data and mobile communications devices and related software that infringe claims 1 or 8 of the ’647 patent.
所以針對個人資料輸入器和行動通訊發佈了禁止進口令
The Commission has also determined that the public interest factors enumerated in section 337(d), 19 U.S.C. § 1337(d), do not preclude the issuance of the limited exclusion order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commission has determined that based on consideration of competitive conditions in the United States economy, the exclusion of articles subject to the order shall commence on April 19, 2012 to provide a transition period for U.S. carriers.
這法令會在2012, 4,19號以後對美國國內的電信商生效. 也就是說 2011,9,15 ~ 2012,4,19 是緩衝期.
In addition, the Commission has determined, based on consideration of the effect of exclusion on United States consumers, that until December 19, 2013, HTC may import refurbished handsets to be provided to consumers as replacements under warranty or an insurance contract (whether the warranty or contract is offered by HTC, a carrier, or by a third party). This exemption does not permit HTC to call new devices “refurbished” and to import them as
replacements.
另外就保固的部分, HTC 只有到 2013,12,19 之前可以出口舊手機到美國做維護的動作, 之後, 在美國的所有HTC手機若是有問題, 似乎就沒有機器可換了.
換而言之, 除非HTC和Apple 進入Settlement, 支付權利金吧 (看似NOKIA都付了) or HTC 有做出新軟體來取代侵權的部份, 或是美國政府有更改他們的裁定 (我想機率是級低的), 不然我看到明年的年底, HTC 在美國就不用玩了...
國外都用 'indefinitely' delayed = 無限期延遲 對我來說就是禁止進口了.
所以...真對上述的裁示, 我覺得Delay 是國內媒體對臺灣國內講的好聽話.

從2011,9,15就開始審查HTC的手機並確認有侵權的證據.
又有人亂說一通了,
此處所說從2011,9,15就開始審查HTC的手機並確認有侵權的證據根本就是錯的,
應該是ITC的行政法官做出ID(initial determination),
委員會(commission)在2011年9月15日決定要對行政法官的ID進行審查,
這是每一個ITC案件必經的過程,
何來"從2011,9,15就開始審查HTC的手機並確認有侵權的證據"?
不知是否蓄意要誤導一般人?

委員會在2011年12月19日才發出notice判定侵權,
何來2011,9,15 ~ 2012,4,19 是緩衝期?
2011年9月15日都還不確定是侵權呢!
