“Apple has been targeted twice in lawsuits this week by companies that claim patent infringement in the iPhone, the App Store, and even the chips that power its camera,” Aidan Malley reports for AppleInsider.
“The most notable, from Affinity Labs, accuses Apple of violating three patents for sending information wirelessly to a portable device, including for browsing downloading online content such as music or voice mail that could then be copied or streamed to a handheld over a wireless network, including cellular service,” Malley reports.
“The second lawsuit is less direct and hopes to find Apple guilty by association.
