Apple to patent Windows Mobile gestures, will patent Copy and Paste in 2011

December 26, 2008 | By tjlikes3G

Well what do we have here? Is Apple really trying to patent something that is already being done by Windows Mobile?

According to a post at MacRumors.com, it seems as though Apple is calling this application Swipe Gestures for Touchscreen Keyboards. How original. This is something that has been around for some time so it will be interesting to see if the U.S. Patent Office deems this as patentable.

We can’t help but wonder what other options already in existence on mobile devices Apple will try to make their own.

Where did it say they were going to patent copy/paste in 2011? That is ludicrous.
