Finger Works was a pioneer in Multi Touch. And Apple bought Finger Works and it’s patents a few years ago… That’s where it got a lot of its key patents.

It surprises me that TC would write an article about Apple’s Multi Touch patents without mentioning Finger Works.

Finger Works was a pioneer in Multi Touch, and has had products on the market for years. Apple purchased them (and their patents) a few years ago.

George, that sounds too logical and simple – will this principle yield more money than how it works now? If it doesn’t, you’re just crazy.

Yes, if there’s no prior art and you can prove that its novel and non-obvious.

If the demos were available publicly, they would’ve been prior art to any Apple patent filed one year after those demos.

So unless Apple’s patents were filed 5 years ago, I’d say Apple has no dibs on multi-touch.

I of course am too damn lazy to go do the research… so feel free to do it and tell me I’m wrong.

Could anyone guessed that Apple would be such a cry baby for having to be copied, They uniquely dominated the market showing creativity and wits. That does not mean any one else could not do. Whats next another fool claiming UNIX as his/her invention. Give me a break.
