DISQUS

isn't that technology already widely adopted at Samsung phones? Their touchscreen phones are called "haptic phone", literally.

I don't really follow Samsung, but certainly I think the news is more relevant as a "here's a way the iPhone might get better" story than as "Apple's startling new innovation!" if that makes sense.

As a European, I am sometimes staggered at what you can patent in the US.

That's just an idea, not an invention (and in my ideas are close to worthless, execution is everything.)

The Patent system is designed to stimulate innovation. Has it not now reached the stage where it stifles it?

The touchpad interface, made famous first and foremost by Apple's very well-marketed products, is certainly an innovative feature.

But it seems that Apple may have stolen the idea, using it in "wilful, wanton and deliberate" infringement of the patent held by Tsera, in reality [apparently] the company that actually invented the idea.
