ZapMedia Sues Apple

Posted by Keeley Vega at 12:48 pm under Litigation, Patent.

Yesterday, ZapMedia filed a suit accusing Apple of “illegally using a patented method for distributing digital media over the Internet.”

“The patents in question cover a way of sending music and other digital content from servers to multiple media players, a broad description that could also apply to a wide swath of other companies selling digital media and the devices to play it.”

ZapMedia seeks royalties on iPods and iTunes music sales.

Subject patents available here and here.
