Company Claims To Have Patented MP3 Player; Sues Everyone
A company calling itself Texas MP3 Technologies Ltd., which shares an office with its lawyers in Marshall, Texas, is suing Apple, Sandisk and Samsung for breaching what it claims to be its copyright of the MP3 player concept.
The patent to cover "An MPEG portable sound reproducing system" was issued in June, and now the company is going for the jugular. One must, however, raise one or two eyebrows at a company which shares its offices with its lawyers in Marshall, Texas, currently one of the most productive patent troll towns in the world.
