A lawsuit has been filed against Apple claiming that technology used in the iPhone to surf the web infringes on a patent recently filed by a Los Angeles real estate developer (Elliot Gottfurcht) and two partners.
The lawsuit was filed by EMG Technology LLC on Monday in the US District Court in Tyler, Texas. EMG was founded by Mr Gottfurcht and is based in Los Angeles.
The lawsuit alleges that technology the iPhone uses to navigate and display websites specifically designed for small phone screens infringes on a patent obtained in October which was assigned to EMG.
Apple has declined to comment on the lawsuit.
