Apple Sued over iPhone Caller ID
by Wesley Johnson ~ February 29th, 2008. Filed under: .Apple is being sued over the caller ID feature of the iPhone. It seems as though someone has a patent which covers matching the phone number of an incoming call with a database to display who is calling. According to TechDirt, the patent also mentions a two-line LCD display with a separate receiver which isn’t a part of the iPhone. I’m sure Apple’s lawyers will exploit that if it should go to trial.
