"My interpretation (IANAL) of those two statements is that both Apple and
the USPTO agree that the Lira patent includes snap-back functionality with the
effect of edge alignment. Apple's defence (again IMHO, IANAL) is that their code
is *trying* to do that whereas Lira just achieves it as part of a different
goal. "
Claim 19 recites something about "instructions for" ... something to
do with an "edge" moving beyond a particular point. Lira does not
disclose or make this obvious. Lira suggests instructions based on testing the
position of a center of a document or column or something, NOT an edge.
That in some circumstances the visual effects are similar is immaterial. What
is covered by the claim includes instructions for doing something other than is
called for by any instructions discussed in Lira.
Apple's pointing out the difference between what is recited in claim 19 and what
is disclosed in the cited document does not change the scope of the claim.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
