- jb1991 3y agoAre you saying there’s no grounds in a patent if it uses math, because no one can patent math? The patent isn’t even about math. It’s about user interface innovations.
- hedora 3y agoI'm saying that other people had already invented, demoed, and published the user interface inventions (concretely, pinch zoom + rotate) before Apple even considered building a computer with a touch screen, and that, as a workaround, Apple's lawyers patented using high-school trigonometry to implement the prior work.
