Apple Sues Creative

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tit-for-litigious-tat dept.

boarder8925 writes "Apple is counter-suing Creative, claiming it has infringed 'four patents in its handheld digital players.' The suit was filed the same day that Creative filed suit against Apple. 'Creative proactively held discussions with Apple in our efforts to explore amicable solutions,' a spokesman for Creative said. 'At no time during these discussions or at any other time did Apple mention to us the patents it raised in its lawsuit.'"

    You don't buy enough Creative players by yourself to save them?

    Apparently "better for me" does not translate to "better for everyone."

    How is this the Patent Offices fault?? Shouldn't one of the brainchildren of Apple thought to patent their stuff before putting it out on the market?? Maybe Apple needs to pull a few of it's lawyers of Creative for a bit...
