"He added that Apple's patents are narrow and cover specific ways of performing tasks, not the entire tasks -- such as universal search or word suggestion -- themselves. And while Apple tried to downplay the role of Google in the trial, Google is relevant, Price said."
To my big surprise I found out that Google is indeed the owner of patent entitled "Extensible search term suggestion engine" [1]. Does it mean we infringe it writing simple AJAX suggestion search?

- josaka 12y agoYou'll need to look at the claims, the part at the end that defines the rights conferred by the patent. Titles just tell you the general area. The USPTO is likely still issuing patents titled "Wheel."
- toppy 12y agoMy bad, cited patent actually belongs to Microsoft... Couldn't find any claims you mention.
