				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier today it was reported that Apple was found guilty of infringing on a set of three patents owned by the group known as MobileMedia. These patents have been revealed as dealing with the display of call options on a smart device screen, a method of determining the worth of an incoming call, and another dealing with a camera on a smart device. Each of these patents being found infringed upon by Apple has made MobileMedia Chief Executive Officer Larry Horn &#8220;very pleased&#8221;, his post-session interview with Bloomberg letting the world know that MobileMedia &#8220;feels [the ruling is] justified&#8221; on all counts.</p>

<p>Reported <a href="http://www.slashgear.com/iphone-infringes-three-mobilemedia-patents-heres-what-possible-13260806/" target="_Blank">as the case was going on this morning</a>, we had some insight on what the possible outcome could be with a report listing several patent infringement allegations that were indeed taking place in the case. Now the final verdict has been revealed and the claims have been listed. The Jury Verdict was handed down and scanned in by <a href="http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/13/3762772/apple-iphone-mobilemedia-patent-infringement" target="_Blank">The Verge</a>, this document revealing the following three patents to have been the culprits in this case.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.google.com/patents/US6070068" target="_Blank">Patent US 6,070,068</a> &#8211; Inventor: Fukuharu Sudo &#8211; Original Assignee Sony Corporation</strong> Includes the ability to control call options for multiple calls and also covers the ability to display call options on a screen &#8211; this includes everything from your ignore button to the call button and back again. </p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.google.com/patents/US6253075" target="_Blank">Patent US 6,253,075</a> &#8211; Inventors: Justin Beghtol, Kenneth Mar &#8211; Original Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.</strong> For deciding whether or not an incoming call should be ignored or rejected &#8211; the ignore button on your device is covered under this basically one way or another.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.google.com/patents/US6427078" target="_Blank">Patent US 6,427,078</a> &#8211; Inventors: Kari-Pekka Wilska, Reijo Paajanen, Mikko Terho, Jari Hamalainen &#8211;  Original Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.</strong> For a mobile phone with a camera that works with a processor and a display as well as a user input and optics for collecting images. This system is also able to transmit the collected image information with a radio frequency channel &#8211; like magic!</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve yet to hear word from either party outside of the short Bloomberg blurb made by the MobileMedia CEO, but we expect some rather pointed sentences to be coming from at least one side or the other in the very near future. Stay tuned to see how this unfolds &#8211; and if anyone will be liable for monetary compensation.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It would appear that the patent-centric group known as MobileMedia has scored a hit against Apple this week as <a href="https://twitter.com/BloombergNews/status/279253578705674240" target="_Blank">Bloomberg</a> reports a U.S. Court finding the iPhone to be infringing on three patents held by the former company. This case is part of an ongoing assault struck up by the company known in full as &#8220;MobileMedia Ideas&#8221; which is jointly owned by Sony and Nokia as well as MPEG LA. The three patents in the case are being ruled upon by U.S. District Judge Sue Robinson in Delaware and include, first and foremost, a patent for a rotating display software feature.</p>
<p><img src="http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/iphone-5-hands-on-slashgear-091-580x361.jpeg" alt="iphone-5-hands-on-slashgear-091-580x361" width="580" height="361" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-260808" /></p>
<p><span id="more-260806"></span></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57548040-37/apple-loses-bid-to-nix-patent-trolls-screen-rotation-suit/" target="_Blank">CNET</a> in early November, the battle was made official when the judge rejected an Apple attempt to toss a lawsuit over involving the patents at hand. Judge Robinson confirmed that the suit would proceed and that patent No. 6,441,828, was &#8220;suitable for determination by a jury.&#8221; </p>
<p>Three of the patents this case COULD be ruling over (NOTE: These are three main possibilities at this point, not confirmed to be THE final set of three) are as follows:</p>
<p>- Sony patent No. RE39231 showing a &#8220;call incoming control method&#8221; allowing a user to tap a button (or press it) to mute calls or change the volume of said calls incoming</p>
<p>- Nokia patent No. 6,253,075 for &#8220;rejecting incoming calls&#8221; which simply allows the user to &#8220;ignore&#8221; or &#8220;decline&#8221; incoming phone calls.</p>
<p>- Sony patent No. 6,725,155 for &#8220;route search conditions&#8221; and GPS transmissions &#8211; these transmissions are sent to a remote server and ping to be &#8220;receiving guidance data transmitted from the server.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s also the Sony screen rotation patent numbered above which says that &#8220;by pressing the rotate button a maximum of three times for one image, the user can rotate the image clockwise.&#8221; Sony patent No. 6,563,535 deals with displaying images right-side-up &#8220;regardless of the orientation of the image or the physical orientation&#8221; of the device at hand.
