grant , there are n’t that manyoriginalwaysto sue Apple any longer , but this one is just special . Elliot Gottfurcht , a successful commercial substantial estate developer , is suing the caller because he take to hold a patent of invention for “ the way of life the iPhone navigate the net . ” He was indeed granted an internet - ish patent in late October , but it ’s hard to see how exactly it relates to Apple , or how this is n’t just another example of Hail Mary patent extortion plot . UPDATE : It look like the crux of the matter of Gottfurcht ’s claim against Apple is bury in the middle of the patent , and regards a routine of method for navigate web capacity . The wording is vague , and whether or not this holds up will remains to be see , but the title is probably not center around the reformatting of internet pages , as described elsewhere in the letters patent and below . Thepatentabstract is as stick to :
A method acting and apparatus of simplified navigation . A web pageboy is provided having a link to a sister website . The sister situation facilitates simplify piloting . Thomas Nelson Page from the baby site are function responsive to propulsion of the babe site link . In one embodiment , the sister site includes intercellular substance pages to countenance matrix sailing .
Further reading , along with the patent ’s crappy mockup ( above ) , help reassert what looked obvious from the above verbal description : Gottfurcht is suing Apple because they cerebrate they hold a patent on the entire mobile web . Never take care the fact that the iPhone was touted as the first phone not to need Mobile River - optimize websites — even if the iPhone only visited leach - down WAP sites , that would have almost nothing to do with the iPhone itself .
