It just never stops. The more popular the iPhone becomes the bigger target Apple is. Today’s lawsuit concerns the abilty of the iPhone to reformat websites according to the size of the iPhone’s screen. Or, in legalese:

“The ‘196 patent claims cover the display of Internet content reformatted from HTML to XML on mobile devices—the industry standard currently displayed by the iPhone,” EMG adviser Stanley Gibson said in a press release announcing the lawsuit.

CNet wonders why Apple is getting sued when this is standard stuff for smartphones:

It’s not clear why EMG is going after Apple, given that many companies have similar technology in the market, although EMG says the patent also covers “the technology for manipulating a region of the screen for zooming and scrolling.”

Because you sue the folks with the most money? Take the next few moments and think of any patents you have and try to imagine a manner in which the iPhone infringes upon said patents. File quick, we’ll need a new story for next Tuesday.
