Taking ownership of pinch-to-zoom or singing Happy Birthday publically is as ridiculous as patenting sit-to-poop.
Don't give apple anymore ideas for patents.

What companies shipped consumer products that included pinch to zoom as a feature? Please, list links to these products, companies, and patents.
Thx.

Sounds like someone's getting paid off...
"Pinch to zoom" is commonplace in all competing smartphones that people often forget that without Apple the technology would never have become mainstream. With that being said it should be licensed out as a FRAND patent. It just seems like such common sense now, not one company should hold the key to it.
There are hundreds of other ways to zoom in and out, but pinch to zoom is by far the best/coolest/most natural, and everyone else wants it. Apple nailed it, and no one else wants to settle for less.
When Apple showed it for the first time, people ooh'd, ahh'd, clapped, whistled, and cheered, because it was THAT good. It had a huge impact, and it took years before anyone else had an OS that could hold a candle to iOS.
Now, everyone who copied the original, and was late to the party, wants what Apple has. But they don't want to work for it. They just want it. They feel entitled to it. They could use sliders UI's, knob UI's, they could swipe, use a magnifying glass like Adobe, etc, but no, it has to be Apple's method, because it's established (by the iPhone) as the best.
Lame. People say they want competition, then bitch because they've got nothing to bring to the table. They want to compete by making iPhones, rebranding them, and then pitting them against the iPhone. There's no argument that justifies anything else. It's all BS.
Go to 33:40, and see it for the first time on any consumer device, ever:

Yeah, I'm sure that it was Samsung who invented the idea of modern post-2007 smartphone... Apple copied Samsung, it must be. /s

What does Apples bold claims of creating pinch to zoom have to do with Samsung?
I know you hate Samsung with a passion (im sorry it sounds like Samsung raped your family and burned your house down) but your anger is well....hahaha.
We could be talking about how beautiful the weather is and youll be talking about how much you hate Samsung.
I never understood the people on this board who vehemently hate a company. Its so laughable.
Now that Apple has decided to protect its investments, "anonymous" companies have decided to lobby the USPTO against Apple's patents so that they can continue to use innovations that they did not first deploy to real products.
These threads will stop when Apple stops bully suing with invalid, frivolous patents.
Apple should just buy the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
