Apple to pay Elan $5 million in multitouch patent settlement

Apple to pay Elan $5 million in multitouch patent settlement

Taiwanese company Elan has announced that Apple will pay the company $5 million as part of a patent infringement suit. A couple of years ago, Apple and Elan were caught up in a patent infringement battle that saw Elan accuse Apple of infringing upon two multi-touch patents owned by the Taiwanese company and Apple counter-sued in response to those allegations. Elan then filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission in 2010.

Last year, the ITC sided with Apple in ruling that the Cupertino-based company had not violated U.S. trade law. However, it seems the dispute didn't end there.
