It looks like the folks at Graphics Properties Holdings are back at it again, this time suing Apple, Samsung, RIM, Sony, HTC and LG over alleged patent infringments, claiming that the iPhone, Evo 4G, Thrill, Torch, Galaxy S, Galaxy S2 and the Xperia Play are devices that supposedly have infringed upon their patents which they had acquired from Silicon Graphics Inc. back in 2009.
The patent in question relates to a computer graphics process that turns text and images into pixels to be displayed on screens, and the company is claiming that unless the alleged infringements are halted, the company will “suffer irreparable harm”. We guess it’s no surprise to hear that Graphics Properties is seeking to stop the sale of infringing products, but to also seek royalties and damages and possibly come to some sort of licensing agreement.
This is actually the second time Graphics Properties has attempted to take these companies to court, although they haven’t had much success yet, so there’s really no reason to think that they would this time around.
