HTC CFO suggests willingness to talk with Apple

Winston Yung, chief financial officer of HTC Corp., said on Tuesday that his company is "...open to having discussions" with Apple about the patent battle both companies are currently navigating. "We have to sit down and figure it out," Yung told Bloomberg.

Apple started the legal proceedings by suing HTC over software patent violations. Both sides have since won minor victories. While Yung notes that no formal discussions have happened since this month's two ITC rulings were made, he's open to starting a dialog. "We are open to all sorts of solutions, as long as the solution and the terms are fair and reasonable."
