Apple and Microsoft Face Touchpad Lawsuit

Apple and Microsoft Face Touchpad Lawsuit

According to court documents filed, a small company called tsera is suing an array of companies for patent infringement. The Register cites the Texas-based company as saying it owns "all right, title and interest in" a patent for "Methods and apparatus for controlling a portable electronic device using a touchpad." As a result, Tsera says that a barrage of products on the market including Apple's iPod classic and nano, LG's Chocolate VX8500 and Microsoft's Zune utilize such technologies without its permission.

I wasn't able to find the full list of who was being sued in the 30 seconds I took to search, but I'm sure some of the cell ppc manufactures such as HTC must be included... Someone wnat to publish the full list?

Re: Apple and Microsoft Face Touchpad Lawsuit

I want to come up with something and put an intellectual patent on it, then I don't even have to make a prototype or even have to come up with a proof of concept, just come up with the idea and patent it

then I can make all my money when other companies spend money on research, development, testing, manufacturing, marketing, selling etc....

Thats how I want to make my money!!!! HA HA

Good thing Gene Roddenberry didn't put an intellectual patent on the Communicator, could you imagine all the flip-phone companies having to pay royalties to that, they'd never develop phones and be as far as they are now.

I always wandered if I could get a patent for "Intake of Oxygen and releasing of Carbon Dioxide"...Then I could sue everyone in the world for breathing!

Awww..can I a at least then patent "The intake of nitrogen using bacteria"?

But it would be funny if court orders people to cease and desist breathing until the litigation reaches a verdict...it would be priceless...

Re: Apple and Microsoft Face Touchpad Lawsuit

Microsoft will probably settle out of court then buy them out so everyone else can pay them royalties now.
