For all the talk about how Apple http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070111/005550.shtml">patented so many different aspects of the iPhone, it really http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20071203/191306.shtml">hasn't stopped a ton of iPhone-related patent infringement lawsuits against Apple. Bill Squier writes in to let us know of the latest. Someone is suing Apple over a patent http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/02/26/lawsuit_claims_iphone_infringes_call_display_patent.html" target="_new">on the iPhone's caller ID feature. Yes, apparently, the patent covers matching up the phone number of an incoming call with a local contact database to display who is calling. Of course, the patent also talks about a two-line LCD display and a separate receiver, which aren't exactly a part of the iPhone these days.
