Apple accused of infringing upon a Taiwanese university's patents with Siri personal assistant

A university in Taiwan has sued Apple for allegedly infringing upon the school's patents with the Siri virtual assistant found in the iPhone 4S and soon the iPad. The National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) says that all of Apple's devices with "voice activated assistant capabilities" infringe upon its patents. Apparently, the lawsuit is in retaliation for Apple's legal actions against HTC in the U.S., which is a Taiwanese company. The NCKU filed its lawsuit in Texas because of its favorable climate for patent owners, though the school is not saying how much it wants in compensation from Apple at this time.
