HTC will Buy S3 Graphics as a dead investment, security for future Patent suits.

HTC has assured that after a final assessment of the worth of S3 graphics the company will wrap up the buyout some time soon. The 270 patents that come into HTC portfolio will help the company fight off any legal issues that may arise in the future.

The strong Patent portfolio may also scare potential competition and make them think twice before any other patent wars begin
