[quote]At issue were Apple patents covering autocorrect software, sliding a finger on a screen to unlock a phone and ways to turn text into hyperlinks[/quote] I'm going to file a patent for pointing directions to people who ask, left-turning bottle caps for closing, and forward pointing flash lights. Give me a break, if they can patent sliding your finger to unlock a phone on a touch screen, then the action of pushing buttons can be patented
I think the crazy thing is that amount of value they give to these kind of features, "You had to pay 120million, because these 3/100000 features validate this patent we have, they are completely irrelevant to the phone as a whole and we fixed/removed them in an update, but we still want you to take all phones off the market" Really defending your intellectual property there apple.
And.. the article in the thread OP thing is fixed...
