I don't blame Apple for this, but I think this is a perfect example of how broken the US patent system is. A patent for "swipe to unlock" was granted (took 5 years to get it). This affects just about every non-apple smart phone out there.

More details available at this link.


This isn't a "beat up on Apple", they understand the rules of the patent game and a former employer of mine (IBM) also understood the game.
