Creative Sues Apple

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who-says-we-aren't-a-litigious-society dept.

E IS mC(Square) writes "Looks like Apple's legal problems are not yet over. ZDNet reports that Creative has sued Apple over their iPod interface. From the article: 'Creative Technology said Monday that it has filed two legal actions against Apple Computer, charging the popular iPod infringes on its patented technology. ... In both cases, Creative says that the iPod and iPod Nano infringe on a patent the company has for the interface in its Zen media player, a patent granted last August.'"

  1. Dates Anyone??? by mcdougrs · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ok it may be my bad on this one for not reading all the posts, but... Has anyone bothered to look at the dates. Creative got this patent in August of last year??? I do believe that Apple had the iPod out before then. So if I read the dates right then this is just plain old STUPID!!!
