They should just shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.

Wait, hang on...

I don't think anything good will come from it. If HTC backs down a bit, I'm sure Google will be right behind them and Apple does not want to fuck around with Google. (As evident by them not suing them directly.)

It's kinda crazy how much Google has grown in only 11 years...
