CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple is suing Taiwan’s HTC, saying the handset maker has violated patents related to the iPhone.

HTC Corp. was the first company to manufacture cell phone based on Google Inc.’s Android operating system, which has emerged as a significant competitor to the iPhone. It is also making the Nexus One phone that Google is selling directly to consumers.

Apple Inc. says HTC has infringed on 20 of its patents covering aspects of the iPhone’s user interface and hardware.

In a statement Tuesday, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said, “We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it.”

HTC spokesman Linda Mills says the company hasn’t had time to review Apple’s claims.
