Apple has been caught in another lawsuit now. This time the court case has been filed by a man from Pennsylvania. Samuel Lit from Pennsylvania has sued Apple for using the patent technology of web carousel dated 2008. Samuel claims that Apple has infringed their patent design on Apple’s home page while showcasing a wide variety of their products. According to the reports, Apple has bypassed the copyright of patent while using their design elements on their display engine. It directly fetches the information from the webpage and displays in the form of the carousel design.
Lit has targeted Apple.com saying that their website has included the embedded carousel display on their website. Their website contained 5 display units which were displaying content at a predetermined speed of rotation. He has also pointed that the 5 windows displayed on the website of Apple were filled with Swift Playgrounds, watchOS, iOS 10, WWDC 2016 and macOS Sierra. He has clearly mentioned that Apple has infringed upon his patent. In terms of the damages, Samuel is seeking a good royalty from the company. The amount as far has not been quoted by him however he is seeking the maximum benefits. Samuel has worked as a radio broadcaster in past. He was hosting a radio show streamed live. He also created a website YourDisplayCarousel.com, which was shutdown in December last year.
Another patent claim raised against Apple was from a man living in Florida. He claims that Apple infringed upon his patent application made by him in 1992. The man failed to pay the registration fee of the patent however now seeks a damage of 10 billion from the company. Apple has not spoken anything about both the cases yet. We are yet to hear Apple’s part on the latest last suit under their name from 2 different sources.
