The [url=http://dockets.justia.com/docket/court-txedce/case_no-2:2007cv00146/case_id-102644/]lawsuit[/url] is an intellectual property-patent infringement suit. The presiding judge is Leonard Davis of the Texas Eastern District Court.
The lawsuit was filed April 18th in a US district court in Marshall, Texas, and claims that Apple has engaged in "willful and deliberate" infringement of a computer control patent by selling its current Tiger operating system. IP Innovation is demanding a jury trial and asks for reparations for perceived damages which "exceed $20 million," according to the suit. It also seeks an injunction that would prevent the California-based defendant from infringing on the patent, essentially blocking Apple from continuing to sell its current edition of Mac OS X and any future editions that might draw on the supposed infringements.
