Lawsuit Claims iTunes Violates Patent
Sunday, February 5th, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Contois Music & Technology claims that Apple has violated a patent it owns by developing and distributing iTunes. According to the lawsuit, iTunes violates the patent in 21 different ways, including how users sort, view and play song files, the design of the user interface, and the ability of the software to transfer music to external devices like the iPod. According to the Burlington Free Press, Contois is seeking a court order to prevent Apple from distributing iTunes, as well as unspecified monetary damages.
In a counter claim, Apple stated that the Contois patent is invalid and demanded reimbursement for its own legal fees.
Apple does not comment on pending litigation, and attorneys for Contois Music & Technology were not available for comment.
