The interface that Creative has patented covers the display of music on a digital music player using hierarchical menus that sort content using metadata tags.

Pretty lame by Creative IMHO. That's like Easton patenting a new stick because it can be used on the forehand AND the backhand. Pretty obvious use of technology.
Apple has way more legal muscle and resources to take on Creative... but then again NTP sure made life difficult for RIM.
