I guess Apple wouldn't be liable because they were granted the patent, and so had an 'obligation' to sue to defend it, and the accused party wouldn't be liable as they would be exonerated. I imagine they'd both have to pay their own costs, which is fine for a company with deep pockets like Apple, but could be painful for smaller companies who get targeted. Graham |

"CLAIM The ornamental design for a display screen or portion thereof with animated-graphical user interface, as shown and described." The description is just those three images and the sentences as described in the report. It is incredibly vague, includes no code, or indeed animation, just those three intermediate states. If it is to be argued that it would apply to any animation that passed precisely through those states then it's so narrow it's meaningless. If it is to be argued that it applies to anything that has a graphical animation that 'turns a page' as indicated, then it's so broad it's surely undefendable. Link to the patent itself. The killer line is: Quote:

After reading this entire thread, I've gotten a headache. This is all ridiculous.

I can't see how Apple's patent doesn't fall foul of this prior patent application from Microsoft:

Doesn't the Microsoft application indicate prior art? Or indeed, this demo for a Silverlight application from 2008: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc507644.aspx Quote:
