Looks like Apple is starting to emulate the douchebaggery of Microsoft as they are suing HTC for alleged patent infringements related to their iPhone in the States. To be more specific, the lawsuit highlights issues with :
7362331: Time-Based, Non-Constant Translation Of User Interface Objects Between States
7479949: Touch Screen Device, Method, And Graphical User Interface For Determining Commands By Applying Heuristics,
7657849: Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image,
7469381: List Scrolling And Document Translation, Scaling, And Rotation On A Touch-Screen Display,
5920726: System And Method For Managing Power Conditions Within A Digital Camera Device
7633076: Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices
5848105: GMSK Signal Processors For Improved Communications Capacity And Quality
7383453: Conserving Power By Reducing Voltage Supplied To An Instruction-Processing Portion Of A Processor
5455599: Object-Oriented Graphic System
6424354: Object-Oriented Event Notification System With Listener Registration Of Both Interests And Methods
