Orientating the data on the screen for portrait and landscape mode by Radius as they had a monitor that people could flip from portrait to landscape mode and that patent is FREAKING OLD.
Why did they wait so long to file? Apple's been selling iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads since 2007?
Maybe Media 100 should sue if they obtained the patents from buying Digital Origin (formally Radius), that's if the patents are still good. They might have lapsed, which may mean that these other patents might able to be challenged.
Apple should talk to their patent attorneys and look into whether some of these patents are actually good patents. The patent office has retracted patents before. They did it to Apple.
The USPTO did a re-exam at Apple's request, but found the specific claims that Apple is found to have infringed are valid.
