iPhone patents

Wednesday, January 10th, 2007

With yesterday’s introduction of the iPhone, Apple has given AIPW a whole new category of patents to write about. Per Steve Jobs in his keynote address, “Boy did we patent it!”

What I’m going to do is review existing patents and publications and see if I can figure out how many iPhone-related patents I can identify. This is not a contest to see if I can find them all, but I will review the more interesting ones in some detail. It will take time, and I’ll add to this category gradually.
