Creative has filed suit against Apple, claiming that several iPod menus mimic patented software written by Creative for their Zen music player. Apple has refused to comment.
Creative said it had filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission asking the agency to probe whether Apple has violated import laws by selling iPod and iPod Nano music players that infringe on Creative's Zen patent.

Creative said it is seeking an exclusion order and cease-and-desist order against Apple that would prohibit it from selling, marketing or importing into the United States its hit products.
Can Creative win against a foe that even France cannot defeat?

    I phrased the thread title that way purely to generate interest, I assure you. I figured people would rather visit this thread than one simply called "Creative sues Apple"
