Stock News: Creative filed complaint against Apple for infringing patents!

Creative Technology Ltd on Monday filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission against Apple Computer Inc., charging the maker of the market-leading iPod media player of infringing on Creative's patents for some of its own music-playing devices. Creative said that it wants the ITC to investigate whether Apple violated the Singapore-based patents for the former company's Zen brand-name device, and is asking the organization to force Apple to stop "engaging in sales, marketing, importation or sale after importation into the United States" of what Creative called infringing iPod and iPod nano products.
