Information is Beautiful has a great infographic showing who is suing who and the current state of telecommunications lawsuits. David McCandless at Information is Beautiful includes snippets of each lawsuit, which is helpful for understanding the overall picture. The diagram differentiates between ongoing and finished lawsuits with different arrows, while the size of the cubes represents the various company’s estimated revenue. In addition, if a company’s cube is red, it means its revenue is decreasing, while gray cubes represent companies with increasing revenues.
The involved include a who’s who of the telecom industry:
- Apple
- Elan
- Hitachi
- HTC
- Kodak
- Microsoft
- Motorola
- Nokia
- RIM
- Samsung
- Sharp
- Sony Ericsson
