Apple sued for wireless communications patents infringement
Apple is a company that is very used in legal battles. The company has a huge portfolio of patents and does not hold efforts to sue companies infringing their intellectual property. Recently, the company sued another company dubbed Prepear over its pear-shaped logo. According to Apple, the semblances between Prepear’s logo and its own logo could bring unfair benefit to the startup. But, it’s not every day that we see Apple being sued by another company. That’s what is happening right now. The Cupertino-based firm is being sued over infringement of wireless communications patents through its iPhones and other products featuring cellular connectivity.

News Highlights: Apple sued for alleged infringement of wireless communications patents
Apple has been hit by a lawsuit alleging that the iPhone and other mobile products infringe a handful of wireless patents.
The complaint, which was filed Wednesday in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas, alleges that Apple knowingly infringes five pieces of intellectual property owned by Delaware-based Neo Wireless, LLC.
Those patents target some of the underlying systems related to wireless communications, frequency bands and other cellular technologies. First submitted between 2005 and 2004 by inventor Xiaodong Li and other co-inventors, they cover parts of the technology related to LTE standards completed under the 3rd Generation Partnership Project – a group of standards organizations developing telecom protocols.
