Tyler, Texas – A federal jury has ordered Apple (NASD: AAPL) to pay $208.5
million in patent infringement damages to Mirror Worlds, over the company’s
Cover Flow album and Time Machine data display features, Bloomberg reports.
Texas-based
Mirror Worlds sued Apple in 2008, alleging infringement of several of its
"document streaming" patents.
Apple’s Cover Flow displays album
artwork in a scrollable visual view, while its Time Machine automatically saves
copies of everything on a user’s Mac, and displays this data in a similar
manner as Cover Flow.
