Dell ,Apple, Fujitsu, HTC, Lenovo, LG, Nokia, Panasonic, Palm, Samsung, and Toshiba have all been added to Typhoon Touch Technologies hit list. Typoon is accusing these companiesof using their patented ideas that period back to 1995 for teh touch computer. Their patents were so open ended and broad that they have been able to pull these companies in saying that all of their touch computing is in clash with their ideas. They created the blueprints for their technology for the police departments based on touchscreen portable devices with built in computers.

They first

began going after companies when Dell release their Latitude XT tablet, now they have brought in more than 10 companies. Everyone is unclear as to how far they wil get in these procedings.

What we do know about the lawsuit is that Typhoon is hoping to use them to generate a steady stream of revenue, as they are seaking injunctions against the products involved until companies agree to pay a “fair royalty”, on top of the financial damages they’re asking for.
