o Apple Countersues Creative in Dispute Over iPod User Interface Patents

Cupertino, Calif. - Apple has filed a countersuit against Creative Technology, a maker of MP3 players and other media players, in a dispute over patents held by the two companies on the user interface designs for the devices. In its suit, Apple claims that Creative infringes on four of its iPod patents. Apple's suit was filed on May 15, the same day that Creative filed its own patent infringement lawsuit against Apple, also over music player patents, in addition to petitioning the U.S. International Trade Commission to block the import and sale of Apple's allegedly infringing iPods from the company's Asian manufacturers. "Creative proactively held discussions with Apple in our efforts to explore amicable solutions," Creative spokesman Phil O'Shaughnessy said, in a statement. "At no time during these discussions or at any other time did Apple mention to us the patents it raised in its lawsuit."

o Bill Fining Minors Who Purchase Violent Games Passes Minnesota House

St. Paul, Minn. - The Minnesota State House has passed a bill that would compel retailers to post clear signs informing consumers of the video game ratings system, and -- in a twist not yet seen in such state-sponsored legislation -- would impose a $25 fine on minors under 18 who try to purchase Mature- or Adults Only-rated games. Introduced by State Rep. Jeff Johnson (R-St. Paul), the bill passed the House in a 114-17 vote. "We were trying to pass the narrowest bill possible just to try something different from a constitutional challenge standpoint," Rep. Johnson told GamePolitics.com. To date, similar laws passed in a number of states have been routinely struck down by the courts as unconstitutional restrictions on First Amendment free speech protections. Johnson's bill will now move to the Minnesota Senate.
