Technology is so common that it seems to belong to all. The tactile interface multitouch, which is ordered with gestures, is from now on a technology patented by Apple and him only.
Deposited there is more than three years, a bearing patent on this gestural technology was finally allotted to the firm a few days ago.
It describes “a method implemented by computer, to jointly use it with a portable aircraft multifunction equipped with a touch screen, [which] includes/understands the posting of a portion of the contents of a page, including a framework which posts a portion of the contents of the framework and which include also other contents of the page, on the touch screen. A translation of a gesture with N-finger (one or more) is detected on or close to the touch screen ".
Excise taxes
the patent thus offers the paternity of technology to apple, technology which makes it possible for example to make ravel screens by slipping the finger, to move of the elements with several fingers or to increase an image by gripping this one. Problem: the majority of the other manufacturers of smartphones also propose this approach.
Thanks to this patent, Apple could make very badly. According to observers', the apple could continue its competitors using the multitouch for violation of patents and ask for the prohibition of their products. Remain that the lawsuits initiated by Apple are already numerous… In addition, it would be necessary that a competitor exploits exactly the terms of the patent to be condemned.
More probably, the firm of Steve Jobs could ask the other manufacturers to pour excise taxes to him. But this prospect could be called into question by justice, Apple being found in fact in situation of monopoly on this technology. In addition, the judges could estimate that the field of application of the patent is too much broad to be allotted to only one actor.
