Apple facing patent lawsuit over iPhone keyboard


It may be a little slow out of the gate, but Florida-based SP Technologies is now taking aim at Apple over the iPhone’s touchscreen keyboard, claiming that it infringes on a patent it has held since 2004. According to MacNN, that patent describes a “method and medium for computer readable keyboard display incapable of user termination,” and the company is saying that Apple was “willful and deliberate” in its alleged infringement of it. As a result, SP Technologies is demanding that Apple pay “reasonable royalties” for each iPhone already sold, along with an injunction to prevent any further use of the allegedly offending intellectual property by Apple. No word on a next move but, as with most of these lawsuits, it’ll be up to a federal court in Texas to sort things out.
