Apple has patented flipping electronic pages

Apple has received a patent in its portfolio once controversial document. The U.S. Patent Office last week approved a request for a patent coup electronic pages. It should immediately be said that Apple does not get a patent on the possibility for the animation of electronic book readers, as the patent describes only one of the possible ways, not the principle itself. In fact, the right company was only turning the virtual pages of this real, which is taken at the lower right edge and drag in the center. At the same time, the patent for the design may create a problem for other companies, if used in their devices, the display of "turning "will be similar to the one described in the patent Apple. It is important to note that the patent has no retroactive effect and, therefore, all the ways of the page turning of electronic book readers, known until 2010, under its action does not fall. However, such patents are already in portfolio companies Microsoft, Adobe and the same Apple. So it is safe to say that now is a lot of problems can not be guaranteed. Problems will be guaranteed only to those companies that are directly copied proprietary animation.
