Burst vs. Apple

The article above discusses how the company Burst is having their patents infringed upon by Apple Computers with products such as iPods, iTunes, and Quicktime. This is leaving Burst to file a lawsuit on Apple Computers. If the lawsuit does in fact go into Bursts favor, then we may see a hefty increase in the price of Apple products. A reason for this will be because Apple would have to pay royalties to Burst for using their innovative technology that is licensed to them. As the prices increase for Apple products, there may be a lesser demand as individuals may not want to pay such a high cost. Another reason for the rise in costs for Apple products, not only because they have to pay royalties to Burst, but because they are also trying to make a profit themselves.
