http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_art http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prior_art Prior ... constitutes all information that has been made available to the public in any form before a given date that might be relevant to a patent's claims of originality OK, so you're saying the links above don't have any bearing on the originality or otherwise of iOs multi touch? That's absurd. If what you're getting at is that there's some legalese-technical argument as to why a seemingly obvious prior occurrence of the "invention" then this indicates to me that the system is broken.
