Apple sued for patent infringement
Burst.com filed a patent counterclaims lawsuit in the Federal District Court in San Francisco on Monday accusing Apple of infringing on four of its patents. Burst claims that Apple’s iTunes Music Store, iTunes software, the iPod devices and Apple’s QuickTime Streaming products are all affected by the patents.
After getting a $60 million settlement from Microsoft Burst is now after Apple for violating its patent of allowing delivery of music or video over the Internet “faster than real-time.” So basically this would cover any downloadable music or video.
This seems like a frivilous lawsuit that again shows how backwards and messed up the USPTO (Patent Office) is.
