A company from Scotland has filed a lawsuit against Apple claimming they have used their patented technology on the Apple iphone and the ipod touch.

Glasgow comapny Picsel lawyers said "Picsel claims that Apple has implemented a key component from Picsel's mobile rendering functionality, which enables users to scan through all kinds of on-screen content without experiencing prolonged screen update cycles.

"Without Picsel's technology, users can be subjected to prolonged delays while 'zooming' and 'panning' documents, web pages and images.

"This core rendering feature is a key contributor to the unique visual experience delivered by Picsel."

Picsel wants compensation for the units already sold, unspecified damages and patent damages.

A Scottish company is suing Apple over claims the computer giant illegally used patented technology on its famous iPhone and iTouch products.

Glasgow-based Picsel Technologies filed its lawsuit at Delaware District Court.
