[IxDA Discuss] Apple's Gesture Dictionary

[Morten Hjerde]

Errr... maybe I'm slow but Apple has made a patent application for a
dictionary "application", not for the content of such a dictionary. They
describe various methods for looking up gestures in a dictionary. I cant see
that they claim to have invented gestures. Could someone who can read
patentese confirm?

PS
I strongly agree that patenting the gestures themselves is a patently stupid
idea. Gestures are just abstract representations, it would be like
attempting to patent the Ctrl-C shortcut.
