Apple Sued By Location Based Technologies (LBT)

San Francisco: Apple is being sued by Location Based Technologies (LBT) for an alleged patent infringement tied to the ‘low-power mode’ and ‘facedown detection’ features in iPhones and iPads. A lawsuit filed against the iPhone-maker claims that Apple’s mobile products that include a ‘low-power mode’ feature that reduces or stops certain background activities like GPS functionality in order to conserve battery life, infringes on LBT’s long standing technology, Patently Apple reported on Tuesday. Filed with the US District Court for the District of Delaware, LBT’s lawsuit leverages five patents against Apple, each of which deals with related power-saving features for portable devices. (IANS)
