Apple Sued Over OS X Quick Boot

An anonymous reader writes "With a patent originally owned by LG in tow, a Florida based company called Operating Systems Solutions LLC recently filed suit against Apple claiming that OS X's use of quick booting infringes the aforementioned patent." The company in question is a bit suspicious — having formed very recently — and so others are speculating it was created for a proxy battle against Apple by LG.

    It is a defensive act when going up against large companies with large litigation budgets and large patent portfolios.

    If you have a company with a product and doing business that sues Apple, then Apple will just file a bunch of patent claims against you whether or not they are valid. They have so much money, they think nothing of litigating an opponent into bankruptcy using bogus claims and junk patents. If Apple would have someone who finds a phone at a bar arrested, why wouldn't they try to litigate someone into bankruptcy?
