VIA has accused Apple of violating 2 patents. They are:
· US Patent No. 6253312, Method and apparatus for double operand load
· US Patent Nos. 6253311 & 6754810, Instruction set for bi-directional conversion and transfer of integer and floating point data.
Apparently these patents are used, without license by Apple, in the Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple TV devices. Since many of these devices have been around for years, it makes we wonder why VIA have chosen now as the time to bring a lawsuit against Apple.
VIA joins a huge crowd of tech companies that take Apple to court over alleged patent infringements. Those companies are often counter-sued by Apple.
