I guess Apple has finally arrived. They are in the middle of many lawsuits. I just received their Annual Report which shows Apple in the middle of no less than 26 lawsuits. I guess money attracts lawsuits. A lot of the lawsuits are for complaints of batteries not lasting long enough, or memory chips going bad. It seems these are things that the market can decide. Of course there is the one about iPods being too loud. And then the Apple Corps one too. There are also ones that claim patent infringement on very nebulous things such as "using a menu to find songs" or using the name Tiger from the company "Tiger Direct". Even Honeywell is suing Apple for something about liquid crystal displays. I am not a lawyer and I don't know of all the legal precident for many of these cases but I think the sheer number of lawsuits is more from the success of Apple than anything else.
