Screwed or sued, either ways Apple gets embroiled in yet another litigation. This time round its real estate developer Elliot Gottfurcht and two co-inventors suing Apple over a technology the iPhone uses to surf the Web infringes on a patent filed by them. The suit states that, the technology the iPhone uses to navigate and display some websites designed for small phone screens infringes on a patent obtained last month by Gottfurcht and his co-inventors and assigned to EMG. HTC Corp, maker of the G1 Google phone, and Research in Motion Ltd, maker of the BlackBerry can consider themselves a bit lucy because EMG has not yet filed anything against them as they infringe on the same technology.
