Authored by robert on May 15, 2006 - 1:46pm.
Scotts Valley, Calif. - Creative Technology, a maker of portable MP3 players, announced on Monday that it has sued Apple for patent infringement of its MP3 player design. In addition, Creative has filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission, seeking a ruling on whether Apple's imported iPods and iPod Nanos infringe on the company's "Zen Patent" -- which covers the user interface on its music players. The complaint seeks an injunction against Apple importing iPods from its Asian manufacturers, or selling them once they arrive in the U.S.
