A company called St. Clair is suing Apple for copyright infringement regarding digital camera technology. The company has a litigious history, having sued Sony, Canon, Samsung, Nokia and Nikon. In fact, St. Clair seems to do most of its business filing patents and lawsuits.
Or as Gizmodo puts it: “To have a patent as fundamental as this—among others, including a patent on digital shutter buttons, and one for storage and display methods for digital images—awarded in the early 90s and upheld by the courts is nothing to scoff at. When this thing finally kicks off—the scheduling conference isn’t until January, so it’ll probably be a few months before we see fireworks—it’ll be one to watch, since companies who land in court with Apple have a tendency to—one sec—die horribly.”
