legion125 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Makes sense, Google creates a feature like the notification bar and Apple incorporates it on iOS. Google incorporates slide to unlock and Apple sues them because it's similar to its. It's a shame it has to come to this, but Google's smart to protect itself. Kinda follows along a post I created last night. http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/204-frands/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroscott Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 They will probably award the patent to Apple because the patent office is owned by apple... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacinJosh Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 They will probably award the patent to Apple because the patent office is owned by apple... There's a good chance that it could be that way. But if Google is entitled to this patent because they filed first, then they should get it.

shaunm82 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Wonder if Google would actually go after them. Up to this point Apple hasn't directly gone after Google..yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey227 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Its about time someone goes after apple. If you think about it apple would be stupid to try and stop google from doing this. It would give them the image that it is okay for apple to go after other companies when it comes to software design but when someone wants to go after apple for the same issue they say it's wrong. I think that someone needed to do something like this to send Apple a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
