Apple sued for patent infringement on web-surfing tech on iPhone |
Ó
Apple Inc is once again embroiled in a patent-related lawsuit after an LA real estate developer, Elliot Gottfurcht, along with his two co-investors from the EMG Technology LLC, claimed that the iPhone's websurfing technology was originally and rightfully theirs.According to the lawsuit filed on Monday in the US District Court in Texas, the navigation and display capabilities of the iPhone to display some websites meant to be viewed on small phone screens infringes on a patent which they obtained just last month.
This same technology can also be found on other phones, such as the G1 Google phone and Blackberry, but the makers of these phones, namely HTC Corp and Research in Motion Ltd have not been sued.
Gottfurscht's lawyer, Stanley Gibson, admits, "We haven't looked at anything other than the iPhone. That was the device we looked at. Obviously it's very popular."
And popular is where the big money is.
For their part, Apple has declined to make a comment on the issue, instead releasing a statement through spokeswoman Susan Lundgren saying that they do not discuss pending litigation.

i hope apple wins the case even though i dont like apple this is just plain stupid
*****ing greedy ass bastards!
The patent was obtained just last month?
They do know that hundreds of devices have been capable doing what they claim for over the past 10 years... right?
Please tell me there's going to be a Judge with a brain trying this case, laugh at the looser trolls, and dismiss the case.
