November 19, 2012 - A company called Innovative Automation sued Apple for patent infringement, claiming that the iCloud product and service infringe two of their patents.
Both of the allegedly infringed patents are titled "Method and System for Supplying Products from Pre-Stored Digital Data in Response to Demands Transmitted via Computer Network."
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in Tyler. Innovative Automation also filed a similar lawsuit against Amazon over their Kindle and its Cloud Player distribution service.
