Apple sued by Seven Networks for patent infringement

Another day, another lawsuit. Apple is being sued by a company called Seven Networks for — what else? — patent infringement.

According to AppleInsider the lawsuit has been filed in the lawsuit-friendly Eastern District Court of Texas. Seven’s suit asserts multiple Apple technologies are in violation of owned intellectual property. From Apple’s Push Notification Service to automatic App Store downloads, background refresh and iPhone’s “Low Battery” warning, the legal action covers a suite of current iOS and macOS features, as well as the devices that run those operating systems. The plaintiff wants a jury trial in the matter.

Seven Networks is a Texas-based company with about 265 employees. It develops “develops innovative software solutions that deliver device-centric mobile traffic management and analytics for wireless carriers.”
