Multi-Touch Tech Firm Seeks iPad Sales Injunction

An anonymous reader writes "Taiwan-based Elan Microelectronics just filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission alleging that Apple is infringing on its patents and violating the Tariff Act, and is seeking a ban on imports of the iPad as well as an order to stop selling the mobile device along with iPhones, iPods, and Macs. The move was taken as a 'continuation of our efforts to enforce our patent rights against Apple's ongoing infringement,' the company said." Considering many iPad pre-orders have tracking #s already, I suspect it might be a little late.

    A citation shouldn't be needed for things that have appeared on slashdot a dozen times, is in fact common knowledge, and is also so easily findable that even your grandmother could google it.
