Apple Sued Over iTunes UI

Contois Music Technology last week asked a Federal Court to stop the iPod maker from distributing its iTunes jukebox software and is seeking damages over an alleged patent violation by the iTunes software.

The suit, filed on June 13th in Vermont District Court, alleges that Apple’s iTunes software design infringes on Contois’ six-year old design patent (US Patent No. 5,864,868) entitled “Computer Control System and User Interface for Media Playing Devices.”

Here’s another retarded lawsuit in the pile. I’m interested to see how it plays out though. Check out the story at Apple Insider.
