Apple is known to love suing another vendor violates the patent. What is the reason Apple patent almost anything that is claimed as invention?
A report from the New York Times said the defeat Apple in patent war a few years ago so why. Yes, in 2006 Apple violated patents owned by Creative Technologies related to music playback.
At that time, Apple agreed to pay $ 100 million to settle the case. Well, since that's what Steve Jobs is still CEO of Apple does not want a similar incident happening again.
Jobs also focused to list all invention patents Apple. "We're going to patent everything," Jobs said in a meeting ahead of the launch of the first generation iPhone.
Since then, Apple was keen to register patents. A former Apple lawyer who declined to be identified said Apple still filed a patent even though he knew it was an opportunity to welcome a small patent.
Under the leadership of CEO Tim Cook, Apple remains aggressive about patents. Although Cook had claimed the lawsuit is their last option.
"To protect inventions, our patented several new technologies. In the rare case when we take legal action related to the patent issues, it's as a last resort," said Cook who quoted from Apple Insider, Thursday
