Imagine all the money and frustration that would have been saved if these BLITHERING IDIOTS at the USPTO had given a rat’s and not approved these patents in the first place! But no, they don’t give a rat’s until such time as someone notices what a shit job they’d done. Then they care.

why do you assume steve is in any position to come down from the sky? where, when and how did he ascend?

this is not a smart-ass rhetorical question, the answer has eternal implications and not just for Steve.

USPTO’s Office Actions are not public documents, they’re only sent to the patent holder and the third parties who requested a re-examination.

For Florian Mueller to have access to this suggests that it was one of his clients who requested the re-examination. He has openly admitted that he works for Oracle and Microsoft.

Anyone wants to take a guess who asked for the invalidation?

I’ll give you another hint, the previous patent re-examination has requested by the law firm Bryan Cave LLP (the requester on this one is yet unknown). Now look up “Bryan Cave LLP” and “Microsoft” and “lobbying”.

Would love to see Steve’s reaction if he were still alive. Ballistic I’m sure.

OK we have Homeland security people (300+) that have been caught STEALING OUR STUFF WHEN WE FLY.

We have patent people approving every stupid patent and then cancelling new and innovative patents. They seem to be paid to act stupid, or criminal.

We have an entire congress that fights each other rather than work together while the country fails.

If anyone can bring down this country, it will be us.

Sadly.

The article posted here was disingenuous due to the fact that All information was not reported, it fails to add the most important information of all ….. Ready.
” This is not final, repeating again it’s not final and can be appealed ”

If people would take the time and read the full post and not just the basic one that is posted here, eerone would find out that ths doesn’t mean a thing and is not by anyway final, Apple can and will go on Appeal to prove that it has the rights to this patent, while most of these patents that are singled out like Apples they do Remain intact and those patents issued are kept whole and not disturbed.

Now if anyone has a issue with this information go to Foss Patent’s and read the complete article without all the left out information, and really, all you Apple haters have nothing yet to celebrate as you may find that this patent might just prove to be stronger then you think.

And for all the Apple diehards, come on my friends, we are so aware that left out information brings in page views to pay the bills, problem is we are seeing to often at most of our regular News sites not full information, but it is up to the reader to research further to find out if any information is not included, remember make sure to click the “Read more in the full article Here” link.

Seeing this patent in its full breakdown and to those of you who have the time to access the Full version of the patent documentation and study the information, many if not all breakdowns of use have not been used before, implementation that can’t be seen as prior art and has a much diffrent way of being interpreted, when all is said and down I still believe this patent and those adjoined with it will pass and be upheld.

We learn to not take a believe everything you read approach, allot of us have gotten burned to many times.

Nice Night All.

the heuristics claims in 949 are the bigger problem in my opinion. Massive amounts of prior art in this area and I that will end up sinking the entire patent.
