Bear and Monkey smack Apple with patent suit

,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has been slapped with another patent 
| infringement lawsuit - but the suit says more 
| about the festering sore that is the US 
| patent system than it does about the 
| individual patents involved.
|
| The lawsuit was filed by Austin, Texas 
| inventor Eric Gould Bear, President and CEO 
| of interface design firm MonkeyMedia. The 
| core of his infringement claim is that his 
| patents cover a user-interface concept that 
| he calls "Seamless Contraction" - essentially 
| a set of techniques to narrow the display of 
| information to that which is most "salient," 
| to use his term, to the user's needs.
