The patent holder on the carousel has accused Apple of his assignment

Some people want money again.

Being one of the most reputable companies - hence the focus of the patent troll. For companies manage to make claims even for industrial designs, which are generally excluded entry into the market.

Any, even the most ordinary and familiar functional solution, may interfere with someone's "sleep patent". So it was with the official Apple website.

Another claim related ... using animated "carousel" at www.apple.com website and multilingual versions. Slides from constantly flashing images iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook and iPhone have caused outrage in Samuel Lita from Pennsylvania.

The plaintiff said that the applicable web designers decision violates some 20 points of his own patent under the number 8793330. This patent describes a "System and method for displaying graphics, text, animation, video, and other content."

Samuel Lee wants to Apple's royalty - permanent financial charges for the use of patented technology. A similar attempt to patent the author already has made in respect YourDisplayCarousel site, but to prove their case and could not.

As well Lee can send claims to thousands of authors HTML-templates and templates for sale on the web designers from around the world. And suddenly somewhere, but will be able to earn $ 20-30. Somewhere, but not Apple.
