If you’ve ever thought that the iPhone might be a lawsuit magnet, we now have even more proof for you. It looks like a company called MONEC Holding Ltd., based in Berne, is suing Apple for patent infringement, unfair trade practices, monopolization, and tortious interference (whatever that means). MONEC’s January, 2002 patent (No. 6,335,678 — titled “Electronic device, preferably an electronic book”) describes a light-weight, touchscreen electronic device that has the “dimensions such that [...] approximately one page of a book can be illustrated at normal size, this display being integrated in a flat, frame-like housing.” Doesn’t sound like every handheld device out there, does it? We’ll keep you posted.
