Welcome to the
tablet game, Amazon. Just two weeks after taking the wraps off its
Kindle Fire tablet, Amazon has already been hit with a lawsuit from patent licensing firm Acacia Research — a company that
makes money
by buying up other companies’ intellectual property and then licenses
it out through a variety of subsidiaries. In other words, Acacia is a
patent troll. The firm alleges that Amazon’s Kindle Fire infringes on
several of its patents, including one that covers graphics on a
touchscreen that respond when a user “writes” on said screen, and a
second titled “System And Method For Displaying And Manipulating
Multiple Calendars On A Personal Digital
Assistant.”
Acacia currently has multiple pending patent suits against Apple and
other defendants that refused to settle with the firm.
