It is clear that today a good business is to patent as many ideas come to mind, as long as you can afford it, and it is that if you are lucky enough that a company like Apple infringes them either intentionally or not, you could become a recipient of thousands of dollars in royalties overnight.
This is what may happen to Samuel Lit, a citizen of the US city of Pennsylvania who has sued Apple for using the carousel effect (carousel) on their website to show what's new.
The carousel display mode (carousel) is what we can see in the Apple home page and in which different products or campaigns are shown so that from time to time some panels slide to show others. At the bottom of the block there are a series of dots that when pressed lets us go to any of the contents you have that presentation module.
Lit's lawsuit claims that Apple has infringed about twenty patents owned by Lit. On the one hand we have the cyclical rotation of the windows at a speed set by the programmer, on the other hand, the built-in database that is recording data on its operation as well as the engine that makes the programming panel work.
If you want to read Lit's patent, we link it below and in this way you can judge whether or not you have arguments to put Apple in a new predicament.
