linky If you can be granted a patent and sue someone else for violation of it on the same day, how does that not fall under the definition of 'prior art'? Jon |

And this is why the US patent system is seen as little more than a vague land grab to line lawyer's pockets on these sorts of law suits That said, Apple have done this before and still do it themselves http://www.talkandroid.com/69034-apple- ... -gestures/ The design doesn't look much like they do either |

TBF, Apple haven't actually done anything with that one yet as far as I know. So it's not exactly the same situation as above, although both do equally illustrate how utterly [LIFTED] the US patent system is. Jon |

I know it's not the same, but it's the grab as many patents as possible that eliminates all creativity in case something infringes a patent, then only people like Apple could afford to fight the battle |

IT patents are just a running joke. |

Depends, if the patent has just been granted, it probably means the paperwork was filed 4 - 6 years ago... |

1. Surely this is better than waiting years before jumping on lawsuit? 2. Is there no way the loophole could be closed to stop this kind of [LIFTED] happening. Personally I think all lawyers are to$$ers but that's just my opinion. |
