Countersuits fly in Apple/Creative spat

This time Apple claims three patent infringements

Apple has filed a second patent infringement lawsuit against rival Creative Technology.

The suits are in retaliation to the move last month by Creative, known for its Nomad and Zen products, in which it filed patent complaints against Apple in a federal court and with a US trade agency.

Creative also sought an exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order that would prohibit Apple from selling, marketing or importing its iPod players into the US.

Apple's new suit, filed in a Texas district court, claims that Creative has infringed at least three of its patents.

These are 'displaying data on a computer', the 'creation of icons to organise files on a computer', and 'editing data using a portable media device'.

Apple is asking for cash damages and a court order to prevent Creative from infringing on any other patents.

Apple's first countersuit alleged that Creative had infringed four of its patents.
