    “The whole concept of a touchscreen device…” is something that prior fictional examples prove false. They did not come up with the concept, but they did implement a prior concept.

    “Nobody thought of it” and “nobody made it before” are two different things. Apple even pretended the second was true when they weren’t even first to market on several of their products.

      But that didn’t come from a patent filing, that was my commentary on how they behaved. Patent filing language is much more precise for this reason.
