A Taiwan-based company called Elan Microelectronics Corp. has filed a patent-related complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission against Apple. The company alleges that Apple's products violate its touch screen patents.

This is just another company with a failed business model who's trying to make money without doing a damned thing.
Well it doesnt matter if they are failed or not. If they have a patent then they have the rights.
I love Apple fans, it is ok to stand up for Apple patents but when Apple steals someone else patent you say foul.
