THX Sues Apple for Misuse of Speaker Tech Patent

Apple has received its latest lawsuit, this time from George Lucas' sound innovation company THX. The case, which is filed in the Northern District of California court last week, claims that Apple's various mobile devices (iPhone, iPad) and its iMacs infringe on THX's single speaker patent. THX's U.S. Patent No. 7,433,483, formally called “Narrow profile speaker configurations and systems,” describes methods to enhance audio quality in compact speaker arrangements common in consumer electronics like computers and televisions.
