After a prolonged two-year court battle, the two companies announced that they have settled their ongoing dispute, which had to do with a handful of audio and video delivery technologies Apple was supposedly using with its iPod, iTunes and Quicktime products. Back in ‘04 Burst asked Apple to license them. Being Apple, the Cupertino-based company instead went to court claiming that the patents themselves were invalid. The rest…well you know how the patent infringement dance goes.
Burst then counter sued and the two companies have been duking it out ever since.
