Apple's Pinch+Zoom Patent Invalidated By Preliminary USPTO Ruling

Posted by timothy on from the always-more-complicated dept.

skade88 writes "Apple has lost its patent on Pinch+Zoom. This is the patent that won Apple their billion dollar verdict against Samsung. GrokLaw has an article, too." The ruling is only preliminary, though, not final.

  1. That PMSing bitch of a judge is gonna be mad by slashmydots · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    So that complete head-up-her-ass judge who refuses to throw out the case based on that jury foreman basically shut down their entire appeal...and then tada, the patent is thrown out. She's gonna be mad. She's obviously operating on her own agenda based solely on posterity and media opinion so she's going to have kind of attack when she finds out another judge undermined her. Whatever, the case is going to fall apart no matter what she does. Hopefully she resigns because her conduct as a judge has been completely disgusting thus far.
