Apple is facing another new patent infringement suit this week, as Texas-based Droplets Inc. has filed a complaint in the Eastern District of Texas regarding violations of one of their patents. Droplets claims Apple infringes on its patent with its Apple website, iTunes, the movie trailer site and also its other web applications.
The patent held by Droplets seems to apply to such a wide range of Apple’s web-based properties because it’s fairly broad in scope; it describes a “system and method for delivering a graphical user interface of remote applications over a thin bandwidth connection.” So, in other words, it’s a way of presenting a web app stored on a server as a usable front-end for customers browsing from home.
