I'm reading the patent and can't believe it was approved.
Maybe I don't understand the patent but it seems Apple patented that the auto-complete suggestions are shown under the input field.
So this is all about interaction design.
- Pxtl 13y agoSamsung has good lawyers and deep pockets so there must be a lot more to it. Autocomplete is not a novel invention from 2007.
- nitrogen 13y agoNot necessarily. The jury in the previous Apple vs. Samsung trial didn't even fill out the forms correctly when they ruled in Apple's favor. Apple's lawyers tell a compelling story, so it doesn't matter what the facts are.
- marcosdumay 13y agoThe deep pockets and good lawyers couldn't make the judge even look into Samsung's evidence the last time. I doubt there is anything more to it, but that's just a preconceived notion after reading a couple (literaly, 2) of other Apple patents.
