U.S. Backs Apple in Patent Ruling That Hits Google
 
Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/20/te...ures.html?_r=1

Excerpt from the article "The ruling was only a partial victory for Apple because the commission overruled an earlier decision in Apple’s favor in the case, involving a different, more technical patent related to how software is organized internally on mobile devices. It would have been hard for HTC to adapt its devices to avoid infringing that patent, legal experts said."

Re: U.S. Backs Apple in Patent Ruling That Hits Google
 
I’m all for Apple. But I hate the idea of a patent on tapping a piece of data to invoke an action. It just seems stupid and counterproductive to allow anyone to stifle competition in that manner, by Apple or any other company. I felt the same way about ‘one-click purchasing’ and most other software patents that have been publicly litigated.
