Multi-source search, link actions, word suggestions, and slide to unlock.

Those are the four that Apple ALLEGED were infringed and they are all very vague and relate to software.

The big one is the integrated search that is used in Siri. That one alone was enough (the rest of them are just padding).

Yes over the Google patents on searching data which this is what Google has filed against Apple to invalidate the block.

A device comprising: a memory to store instructions to provide, to a user, a content creation application comprising: a first interface to edit and compose an message by a user, a second interface to receive a search query, logic to modify, in response to receiving the search query, the search query by adding one or more additional search terms to the search query, where the one or more additional search terms are based on one or more parameters associated with the email message, logic to receive search results relating to the modified search query, logic to modify, in response to receiving the search results, a relevance order of the search results based on information relating to an intended recipient of the message, where the information relating to the intended recipient includes information based on past searches by the intended recipient, and logic to display, in the second interface, the modified search results and a save link associated with each of the search results, logic to receive a selection of one or more save links, and logic to incorporate, in response to the selection, one or more of the search results corresponding to the selected one or more save links into the message in the first interface; and a processor to execute the instructions.

In bold is the clickable link in question... Which this patent is before the Siri patent...

Which is what the likes of Dogpile, Webcrawler, Ask and indeed Google have been doing for years. Before you say it the patent doesn't specify Mobile Devices either.

The patent is not for general search, its the integration.

Sure do...why I mentioned the slide to unlock feature as an example.

so because Apple did it, no one else is allowed to have any kind of integrated search even if it's implemented differently

yeah ... if that doesn't scream monopolistic practices I don't know what does

>>? The patent above would apply to a cell phone integration....and there are other search and database aggregation patents prior to Sir that would and could be used in place of this one.

It states Device and Interface .... Which that was just a portion of one of three I found that Google owns about searching.

One even states verbal search strings.


The following is a search string for Patents that Google owns.

There should be a law that if it's shown that a company is abusing it's patents for anti-competitive practices those patents should be invalidated. Naturally there should be an investigation on how broad patents like many apple got, were allowed to begin with.

Yeah their last 2 product launches have been one feature touts to sell. Apple loyalists aren't bothering drinking that kind of kool aid either, a number have told me "retina is nice but that's just it"

2 companies share pretty much all the profits in the mobile hardware market....and now Apple has pretty much killed the competition (temporarily). To be honest that's not good at all
