These two years Apple The company has been fighting mobile phone patent lawsuits in different places and companies, and now it has added two weights. In the morning, I saw that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office recently approved one of Apple's applications“ Touch sensor and solar cell module ”Patents. Just now, foreign media reported that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted Apple two patents, D675639 and D675612, respectively. The former is sliding unlocking, while the latter is the original rounded rectangle design of the iPhone.
Apple has already obtained patents related to sliding unlocking before, but now they will use new patents to Android Attack (Apple sued Galaxy Nexus in Germany last year for infringing the patent).
The second patent is also important. After obtaining the first iPhone design patent last time, Apple again received the iPhone 3GS design patent, which is known as the "rounded rectangle" appearance. It is reported that this patent was submitted by Apple in early 2011, and its owners include Jobs, Jonathan Ive (Apple's design director is also the design director of iOS software), etc.
