THX sues Apple over speaker patent
Audio titan THX has filed
a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that Cook and Co. infringed a patent
it has for technology regarding narrow profile speakers with enhanced
sound output that can be built into electronics. According to the court
filing, versions of the iPhone, iPad and iMac are culprits that rely on
the tech in question. Apple Insider notes that the new, slender iMacs
seem to use a design similar to one described by THX, which includes
channeling audio down a slim duct. Though THX is out to stop the
infringement or collect damages from Cupertino, both companies could
settle their differences before the affair escalates into a full-on courtroom brawl.
