"Apple declined to comment."
meanwhile at Samsung HQ:
Not enough Asians
They were edited out. It's all the rage these days
Some people on another blog were saying how Apple will turn this around because their marketing people know what they're doing. The ruling says they can't use font smaller than 14 point Arial but those people were saying that Apple will flip it on the law in a way to give them better advantage.
I have no idea how they will be able to do it but I have this feeling they will :/
Well the ruling only says they must state that Samsung didn't copy them and they can't use anything smaller than 14pt Arial unless there's something I misread!
http://www.gsmarena.com/apples_overscrollbounce_patent_has_been_invalidated-news-4985.phpThe tide of the patent war seems to be turning against Apple lately - the latest victim is the patent of the rubber band effect when you reach the end of a list while scrolling (most often referred to as overscroll-bounce).
Apple used that patent to force Android makers to remove the feature from their phones. That's also why Google went with the glow at the end of lists. This patent was used in the big Apple vs. Samsung case too.
Anyway, as of recently, the patent was rejected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on the grounds of lacking novelty and being obvious (that is, it's nothing new and it's an apparent consequence of something that already exists).
