Quantum Research Group has filed a lawsuit against Apple claiming that the iPod maker is infringing on a capacitive sensing technology patent it owns. The case was filed in December 2005, but both Quantum Research and Apple have reportedly kept the case under wraps until now. The patent in question describes a way of using capacitive sensing to tell when and where a surface is being touched.
