Talk about a bad run for Apple recently in the idiotic patent wars. First they had the USPTO temporarily invalidating their patent on the “Rubber Band” effect and now the WSJ (via PhoneGap) is reporting that there is more bad news. The USPTO has also rejected, but not invalidated, Apple’s famous “Pinch to Zoom” patent. I wonder what is next? Maybe “Slide to Unlock”? Either way it is nice to see yet another one of these overbearing patents loosing its teeth.
This all makes me wonder if Mark Cuban has the right idea with his new donation to the Electronic Frontier Foundation Patent Project “Mark Cuban Chair to Eliminate Stupid Patents”…
