Title: Apple Rubber Band Patent Bounced by USPTO Post by: HCK on October 24, 2012, 07:01:05 pm Apple Rubber Band Patent Bounced by USPTO
Apple's patent on rubber banding -- the bounce-back scrolling behavior that played a role in its victory over Samsung in a lawsuit earlier this year -- has been rejected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Rubber banding, also known as "scroll bounce," causes the image on a screen to bounce when it reaches its top or side limits. http://ectnews.com.feedsportal.com/c/34520/f/632003/s/24d672ab/l/0L0Smacnewsworld0N0Crsstory0C76470A0Bhtml/story01.htm |
