Apple Faces Creative iPod Patent Dispute

December 8th 2005 | Multimedia

Apple could be in for a bruising legal fight with rival Creative over the technology used in iPod music players. Creative boss Sim Wong Hoo has told the BBC he plans to "pursue aggressively" a US patent it owns on a system used to navigate music on digital players.

Mr Sim was speaking at the launch of Creative’s latest rival to the iPod video, the Zen Vision: M. Creative was one of the first to market digital music players in 2000, but has since been overshadowed by Apple.
