 "Apple vs. Creative: Round Two")
In what has becoming a never ending series of suits and countersuits, Apple Computers today filed a second lawsuit against Creative Technology in district court in Texarkana, Texas, over at least three patents that Apple claims Creative has infringed upon.
Creative, the world’s number-two producer of MP3 players behind Apple, filed patent suits in May for allegedly infringing on one of its U.S. patents. Creative was seeking an injunction to stop Apple’s alleged infringement on its “Zen” patent, as well as damages. In addition, Creative wanted the court to block Apple’s iPod sales in the United States.
The countersuit by Apple, according to Reuters, charges Creative with infringing on a patent that pertains to how data is displayed on a computer monitor - one for editing information on portable music and video devices, and another for generating icons to help organize data on a computer. Apple has requested damages and an injunction to stop Creative from infringing on its patents.
The first suit Apple filed against Creative in May in Wisconsin charged Creative with infringing on four Apple patents.
