Apple Claims Invention of Multi-Touch, Phone CPU Undervolting, Sues HTC to Stop Sales

Quote:
The Cupertino electronics giant today filed suit against handset maker HTC with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and in U.S. District Court in Delaware.

However, the suit covers much more ground than merely multi-touch and layout. In total Apple is suing it for violation of 20 patents. Among the patents that Apple was granted that it says HTC is "stealing" are a patent on an "Object-Oriented Graphic System", a patent of cell phone processor undervolting ("Conserving Power By Reducing Voltage Supplied To An Instruction-Processing Portion Of A Processor"), and touch-screen unlocking ("Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image").


I think the cancer's spread to his brain.

Hmmm, does this mean Google's "Do no evil" may be temporarily rescinded while they retaliate?

Why are they suing HTC alone? Don't want to face the wrath of Google?

From the article, it sounds like Jobs and co. are preparing to do so. I think Google should just take part of the pile of money they swim in (like Scrooge McDuck) and just buy Apple.

I invented the concept of placing a penis inside woman's vagina. You all owe me tons of money.

Which is really sad. I looked up multi touch and the tech behind it to see if Apple may indeed have a case on that.

Substantially, I believe that they do not. Microsoft has a similar multi touch system called Surface, and there are other technologies that have been around since like the 80's if not earlier.

I am *maybe* with them on the stepping of the processors, but Notebook computers have been doing that **** for years as well.

And for the "Arrangement of Icons" African-American, if you would be so kind. I had that **** on my Palm Treo from oh so long ago.

Jobs is out of his mind.

I guess that solves the "chicken or the egg" problem we had all been so preoccupied with.

No Nev, that's a different patent.

Apple should be going after Microsoft as well, except Bill Gates has already proven repeatedly that he's smarter than Steve Jobs. Really, that's what this is all about. Apple had Windows stolen from them, and then roughly twenty years later, Bill Gates turned around and patented the iPod. Jobs is just trying to make sure that Google doesn't patent the iPhone. Of course, while he's going after Google, Bill Gates is going to do it instead.

Because really, that's what Bill Gates does. He **** Steve Jobs.

There was a thread on the Glade sometime about a year after the iPod Nano was released that linked a news article regarding a lawsuit between Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft had somehow weaseled the patent for the iPod. Apple left something sit too long, and Microsoft patented it.

Awesome.

Dunno why he's suing only HTC tho.

Does Motorola still supply his processors?
