Apple sued by Creative over iPod interface
It seems like Apple has violated Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 because of the iPods and iPod nanos importation and sale after importation into the United States, that infringe U.S. Patent 6,928,433, which Creative refers to as the ‘Zen Patent’. This is what it’s all about! Creative filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission against Apple to stop sales, marketing, importation or sale after importation into the United States for iPod and iPod Nano products. This is not the only complaint that Creative filed against Apple. The second complaint is about injunction and increased damages for Apple Computer Inc.’s willful infringement of the Zen Patent.
