It's specific yes, but it is also obvious.

It's specific yes, but it is also obvious.
- axly 14y agoIn 2002, it was NOT obvious, and that is the point. Of course, we can look at something like PTZ or a bouncing edge and think, "It's so obvious, how else would you do this?" And Samsung or HTC or even Google could have figured it out and patented it - but they didn't. Apple did, and that is why we are here now.
- mistercow 14y agoDifferent argument. The patent under discussion in this subthread is that of jury foreman Velvin Hogan, which was completely obvious back in 2001 when he filed it.
