Elan asks trade agency to block Apple iPad imports
Elan asks trade agency to block Apple iPad imports:
The technology described in the complaint to the ITC is Patent 5,825,352, one of the two named in the lawsuit filed last year. In the 2009 case, Elan described that patent as "fundamental...to the detection of multiple fingers on a touch pad or touch-sensitive input device to enable the detection and use of a multifinger gestures in various applications."
The patent was originally issued in 1998 to Logitech; Elan claims it now owns the patent.
