Presumably Apple is just the first target.
This is arguably not a good thing for
the industry as a whole.
Perhaps
if there were a rule saying only companies with a relevant product
could use

Except it won't stop there. They will go after Android next.
Then it will be "All your touch gestures are belong to us."
Hey - I just had an idea...
I am going to patent the gestures we use everyday - thumbs
up, middle finger salute, wave of hand, hand up in a stop
gesture, even nod of the head. Then everybody will have to
pay me when they make these gestures, and I'll be rich![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
