100 Millionen für ZenPatent
Apple zahlt an Creative
Ich werde nie verstehen, wie man eine Submenu-Ordnung wirklich hat Patentieren können, nur weil sie auf einem MP3-Player stattfindet. Apple jedenfalls hat sich für 100Millionen Dollar freigekauft und dafür darf Creative als iPod Subunternehmer miteinsteigen. “Your Moment of Zen” würde Jon Stewart sagen:
Apple® and Creative Technology, Ltd. today announced a broad settlement ending all legal disputes between the two companies. Apple will pay Creative $100 million for a paid-up license to use Creative’s recently awarded patent in all Apple products. Apple can recoup a portion of its payment if Creative is successful in licensing this patent to others. In addition, the companies announced that Creative has joined Apple’s “Made for iPod” program and will be announcing their own iPod® accessory products later this year.
