La estrategia de las patentes: Apple demanda a HTC
Interesante artículo de Eugene Shteyn que lista las patentes de la última guerra entre Apple y HTC. Las reproduzco aquí:
- Patent No. 7,362,331: “Time-Based, Non-Constant Translation Of User Interface Objects Between States”
- Patent No. 7,479,949: “Touch Screen Device, Method, And Graphical User Interface For Determining Commands By Applying Heuristics”
- Patent No. 7,657,849: “Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image”
- Patent No. 7,469,381: “List Scrolling And Document Translation, Scaling, And Rotation On A Touch-Screen Display”
- Patent No. 5,920,726: “System And Method For Managing Power Conditions Within A Digital Camera Device.”
- Patent No. 7,633,076: “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices”
- Patent No. 5,848,105: “GMSK Signal Processors For Improved Communications Capacity And Quality”
- Patent No. 7,383,453: “Conserving Power By Reducing Voltage Supplied To An Instruction-Processing Portion Of A Processor”
- Patent No. 5,455,599: “Object-Oriented Graphic System”
- Patent No. 6,424,354: “Object-Oriented Event Notification System With Listener Registration Of Both Interests And Methods”
Como dice Eugene, las patentes son muy genéricas y de no demasiado impacto, por lo que tiene pinta que el interés de Apple no es "cargarse" al partner principal de Google en el mundo de los móviles (o al menos no ha conseguido suficientes hechos para intentarlo), pero sí causarles un retraso de uno o dos años en sus planes de desarrollo que, a la velocidad a la que ocurren las cosas ahora, podría ser definitivo.
