I’m sure many of you know that Apple has sued mobile phone manufacturer HTC over patent infringement. The patents relate to the iPhone’s user interface, underlying architecture and hardware. Google has come into the fray sticking behind HTC. I think that Apple is starting to worry about the threat that is Google. If this is the case, should not Apple sue Microsoft for Surface? Just a thought, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that lawsuit came into being.

US Copyright Laws
The US court ruled, in late December 2009, in Summary Judgment that we were liable for secondary copyright infringement, you may have read about it in the news. What you have not heard however is what happened since the status conference in January. The Judge, at the status conference, agreed to provide us after the injunction phase, but before the damages phase, with an interlocutory appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Before we appeal however, we must undergo injunction motions and that's what we are doing now. Plaintiffs have filed their motion with their proposed measure for injunction a couple of weeks ago. The Plaintiffs proposed injunction and its keyword type filter, in our view, raises serious issues on the balance between freedom of speech, fair use and copyright protectionism. Such keyword filter is also impossible to implement if it's to have any sort of precision, nor can it avoid conflict with fair use cases, free commerce, or extra-territorial law. We have just filed our response in opposition:
