securitybreach Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 It is a good thing considering the effect this would have on quite a few mobile devices:"In a decision handed down by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Apple has been denied an application for a trademark on Multi-Touch. For trademarks, 'the greater the degree of descriptiveness the term has, the heavier the burden to prove it has attained secondary meaning.' The trademark attorney pointed out that the term 'multitouch' has taken on generic meaning, being used by a wide variety of publications to describe the touchscreen technology on Android phones, tablets, and notebooks."http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/09/27/0...For-Multi-Touch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
