 Apple is a big target for patent infringing lawsuits given the technical complexity and popularity of its products, this time, a small Florida-based firm called SP Technologies is suing Apple, alleging that the iPhone’s touch-screen keyboard interface infringes upon a patent awarded to the company in 2004. SP Technologies is seeking compensation for the number of iPhones sold thus far, as well as a permanent injunction against Apple's use of the patent in its hardware. Apple has not responded to the lawsuit yet. Patent suits are a dime a dozen for big companies such as Apple, the company has already been sued by Cisco over the use of the iPhone name and by a man claiming the company's policy on iPhone battery replacements wasn't know prior to the device selling June 29. We'll have to wait and see where this goes.  News source: TechSpot
