I guess they have patented specific parts of their user interface such as the
two-finger touchscreen interface. They can't patent the idea of using a
touchscreen for a phone plenty of older devices like all the big PocketPC
phones have a touchscreen ;-)
Quoting Stuart Gray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I was just watching the apple iPhone keynote. And when Steve Jobs is
describing the phone touchscreen interface, he says they have
patented it. What does this mean about the OpenMoko phone? I am not
overly knowledgable about patent protection, so it may be a silly
question. But doesn't the fact that they have the mobile phone
touchscreen interface patented mean that you cannot realease the
OpenMoko as it is infringing on it?
