The Apple iPhone breaches several digital photography patents, according to a company that has already successfully sued several other leading camera makers.
St Clair Intellectual Property Consultants has filed a lawsuit claiming that the iPhone infringes four patents and appears to have a good case.
In 2001 it sued Sony over the same patents and won $25 million. In 2004 it filed suits against eight other major camera makers, securing $34 million from Canon and $3 million from Fuji. Casio, Seiko-Epson, Kyocera, Minolta, Nikon and Olympus all settled before the matter got to court.
"The jury ruled in St. Clair's favor on all issues of infringement, validity and enforceability," St. Clair’s lead trial attorney Ronald J. Schutz said following the Fuji judgement.
St Clair is seeking unspecified damages from Apple.
Apple does not comment on current legal actions.
