Apple And AT&T Sued For Infringement Over iPhone Haptic Patents (computerworld.com)

Haptic technology company Immersion has accused Apple and carrier AT&T of infringement of three of its patents in the latest iPhone models and Apple watches. Immersion, which claims over 2,100 issued or pending patents worldwide covering various aspects and commercial applications of haptic or touch feedback technology, has asked the U.S. International Trade Commission to ban the import of the specified iPhone and Apple Watch models in the U.S., besides suing for damages in a Delaware federal court, company CEO Victor Viegas said in a conference call Thursday. Immersion decided to include AT&T and subsidiary AT&T Mobility in the action because the carrier is the most significant distributor of the iPhone in the U.S.

    Have you even looked at the articles you referenced yourself? Do they even exist? Your terrible spelling makes it seem like you probably don't even understand what you're talking about.

    That aside- you're talking about legal issues without understanding legal issues. And I've never seen President Obama jump myself. What the hell are you going on about over there? Hint: an answer without much random political bias will win you more points!
