Title: Apple's and Motorola's Slip-Slidey Patent Scrap Post by: HCK on February 20, 2012, 07:01:02 pm Apple's and Motorola's Slip-Slidey Patent Scrap
A regional court in Munich, Germany, has ruled that most of Motorola Mobility's smartphone products infringe on Apple's slide-to-unlock image patent. Users of Apple's iOS devices slide a virtual button across the screen in order to "unlock" the device -- in other words, wake it up and make it ready to accept other input. It's meant to prevent so-called pocket dials on the device's touch-sensitive screen. http://www.macnewsworld.com/rsstory/74455.html |
