Apple Sues back Creative

Some people found it hilarious when creative asked (legally) Apple to sell iPods in the US. Creative had sued Apple, claiming that the much popular interface of the iPod and iPod nano are Creative IP and that Apple had infringed on a patent the company has for the interface in its Zen media player, a patent granted last August.

Now, the lawsuit have backfired and Apple countersued Creative in a Wisconsin District Court claiming Creative's digital players infringe on four of its own patents.
