Apple's iPod faces patent probe
view at BBC NEWS
Portable media player maker Creative Technology has said that US authorities will look at whether Apple's rival iPod player infringes one of its patents.
The firms have swapped patent lawsuits in recent months, but Creative said the US International Trade Commission (ITC) was now launching a probe.
Creative has asked the ITC to issue an order stopping Apple from marketing, selling or importing iPods into the US.
It claims the iPod infringes its patent for a music player navigation menu.
