Earlier this month we saw patent problems hounding both Microsoft and Apple, where the former had bigger problems after being ordered by the court to pay $388 million dollars.
Microsoft patent infringement is against Uniloc, who claims that they own the patent on how Microsoft is activating Windows XP, Office XP, and Windows Server 2003. Microsoft is looking to have a favorable result after their appeal.
Apple on the other hands is being sued by Elan Microelectronics after two years of licensing talks have failed. The Taiwanese company argues that Apple has violated two patents on their touchscreen technology found on iPod/iPhone, MacBook.
It is always interesting to see whenever a smaller guy goes after the goliath. In the case of Microsoft, David won the first round. Would Apple prevail over this one?
