Apple Sued Over Touch-Screen Rights

The New York Times reports that a Taiwanese firm claims that Apple products, including the MacBook, iPhone and iPod Touch, use technology that infringes on two of its patents.

The suit was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, Dennis Liu, an Elan spokesman, said by telephone from the headquarters of the chip design company in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Jill Tan, an Apple spokeswoman based in Hong Kong, said in an e-mail message that the company would not comment on the Elan suit.
