keep in mind that a random company Apple in March 2008 be sued, tear off for its display interface patents? Turns out, that was stored in the Eastern District of Texas, a breeding ground for patent trolls, who know that you a better than average chance of winning, simply because of where your questions will be taken up. Sure enough, is Cupertino's stock of lawyers is obliged today, is a loss to demand after a jury verdict resulted in Apple is procedure "as much as $ 625.5 million, mirror worlds for infringement of patents as documents digitally displays." Ouch. Of course, Apple has US district judge Leonard Davis asked stay pointing out for an emergency that insist on two of the three problems; in addition Apple have claimed that mirror worlds would be "A dive triple" when to collect $ 208.5 million on each patent. In connection is related news considering the judges a separate Apple request (one placed, before the judgment), "Not the company two patents violate rule" - if granted, the "amount of damages attributed to these two patents strike would." In other words, this whole ordeal is far from over.

Or as some would say, "A drop on the hot stone."
