Apple Sued for Patent Infrigement by Picsel

In court documents filed in the Delaware District Court on Friday, Feburary 13th, 2009, Scottish companies Picsel Research and Picsel Technologies are suing Apple. Inc for patent infringement relating to technologies contained in Apple's iPhone and iPod touch.

One of the largest law firms in the USA Nixon Peabody LLP has been retained to represent Picsel against Apple. Inc. The full press release from Nixon Peabody claims that:

"..Apple has implemented a key component from Picsel's mobile rendering functionality, which enables users to scan through all kinds of on-screen content without experiencing prolonged screen update cycles. Without Picsel's technology, users can be subjected to prolonged delays while "zooming" and "panning" documents, Web pages, and images."

This will never the less be an interesting test to see how well Apple has done it's homework and how "solid" the patents of both companies are. That, and of course, how good the lawyers are.

No, I'M going to Sue Apple. I already have a patent on a pretty box you hold with things on the screen. HOW COULD THEY RIP ME OFF LIKE THAT???

Yeah, so unless Apple actually stole their code itself, this sounds like look and feel to me. I think Picsel should use all those court papers to wipe their little sniffy noses and get over it.
