Nixon Peabody Represents Picsel Technologies in Lawsuit Against Apple

New York, NY. Nixon Peabody LLP has been retained in a patent infringement case brought by Picsel (Research) Ltd. and Picsel Technologies Ltd. against Apple, Inc. involving the Apple® iPhone™ and iPod Touch™. In the lawsuit filed today by Nixon Peabody LLP on behalf of Picsel, the mobile platform provider whose technology has shipped more than 250 million units worldwide, alleges Apple’s iPhone infringes Picsel’s rapid redraw patent, which enhances the user experience while navigating through on-screen content. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for Delaware.

Picsel claims that Apple has implemented a key component from Picsel’s mobile rendering functionality, which enables users to scan through all kinds of on-screen content without experiencing prolonged screen update cycles. Without Picsel’s technology, users can be subjected to prolonged delays while “zooming” and “panning” documents, Web pages, and images. This core rendering feature is a key contributor to the unique visual experience delivered by Picsel.

Established in 1998, Picsel employs more than 250 staff at its headquarters in Scotland and in offices in Japan, China, Korea, Malaysia, and the U.S. The company’s customers include KDDI, Motorola, Nokia, NTT DoCoMo, Palm, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Sharp. In addition to Nixon Peabody, the Picsel legal team includes Morris Nichols Arsht & Tunnell in Wilmington, Delaware, Maclay Murray & Spens LLP in Glasgow, Scotland, and the Bristows law firm in London, England.
