Apple Wins Strategic Multitouch & Music Tempo Workout Patents
,----[ Quote ]
| Apple has been granted a patent for a
| multi-touch system that compares finger
| arrangements at the beginning of multi-
| touch gestures and discriminates between
| neutral and spread-hand performances.
| Gestures by the neutral and spread-hand
| versions of each chord are then mapped to
| separate, but intuitively related cursor
| functions or sets of commands. Less-
| frequently performed functions and commands
| are typically assigned to the spread-hand
| chord, since spreading the hand from
| neutral takes deliberate effort. With these
| neutral and spread distinctions, a two-
| handed gesture set can be packed into a
| one-handed touch surface, or for two-handed
| touch surfaces, twice as many intuitively
| customizable gesture command sets can be
| accommodated.

Book Review: "Patent Law for Computer Scientists"
,----[ Quote ]
| Using the EPO-style interpretation of the
| word 'for', it seems to be also very
| suitable for European patent attorneys with
| an interest in the field of computer-
| implemented inventions, and particularly
| well suited for US attorneys who might like
| to think beyond the requirements of the US
| system when preparing their applications
| for being filed internationally.
