Analysts have estimated that if found guilty, Apple could face up to $1 Billion in penalties and license fees.

If this sort of lawsuit is successful, could this damage any chance of such product launching?

“Whoever they are, they will be told to stop posting, to remove previous posts and to identify themselves to the High Court via a web link form,” Griffin Law spokesperson Andre Walker told Reuters.

This is a ever-growing problem on Twitter and recently the $1billion web service launched “Verified” accounts to help verify high profile tweeters and their tweets.

I can’t wait to see legal papers being served in relation to divorces.
