Apple patent app reveals new high-end Multi-Touch technology

Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple, “In another excellent report filed by Philip Elmer-DeWitt of Fortune earlier this week about Apple’s high tech war against handset makers supposedly infringing on Apple’s multi-touch IP, he quotes Oppenheimer’s Yair Reiner stating that ‘Our checks also suggest that these warning shots are meaningfully disrupting the development roadmaps for would-be iPhone killers. Rival software and hardware teams are going back to the drawing board to look for work-arounds. Lawyers are redoubling efforts to gauge potential defensive and offensive responses. And strategy teams are working to chart OS strategies that are better hedged.'”

“Well, Apple isn’t standing still either boys-and-girls and yesterday the USPTO published yet another round of new highly sophisticated multi-touch panel patents that will reverberate in the war rooms of Apple’s competitors around the globe,” Purcher reports.

Purcher reports, “With Apple’s law suit against HTC is reportedly shaking their faith in Google and Whiny former Sun CEO recently whinging on about Apple threatening Sun over their Looking Glass OS, Battleship Apple will go on the offensive going forward. This isn’t the last we’ll hear of Apple’s legal actions – that’s for sure. In truth, the patent wars have only begun.”
