"The Taiwanese mobile-phone maker HTC has lost a US patent battle with Apple.
The International Trade Commission found that HTC infringed one patent held by the US technology giant.
Any HTC phones that use the technology covered by the patent will be banned from sale in the US from 19 April, 2012.
Apple is currently fighting a number of global legal battles over technology rights, and had initially claimed that HTC was ignoring 10 patents.
According to the Reuters news agency, HTC called the ruling "a win" for the firm as it impacted only one patent, rather than the 10 as initially claimed."
