I can sympathisize with newcomers being frustrated by patents for technologies which seem like 2nd nature to them.
But what patents does HTC itself hold and enforce? I'd like to find that out, cause you know, 'live by the sword, die by the sword...'
- technomancy 17y agoConsidering this: HTC is a Taiwanese company. Taiwan has sane patent laws, unlike the US. So they're unlikely to have a large arsenal of frivolous patents.
- Tycho 17y agoWell, that doesn't stop them from filing with the US patent office. Here's one they did file, citing an earlier 2008 patent in Taiwan, http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2009/0264157.html http://www.freepatentsonline.com/y2009/0264157.html. It appears to be a patent for a mobile phone touch-screen 'slide-to-lock' interface. Hmmm.
