Apple granted another key multitouch patent

Apple has received another original Multitouch patent from the USPTO. This is the type of patent that could help Apple in legal battles with copycat designers. It's one of the 200 patents that Steve Jobs pointed to when launching the iPhone.

During this historic event, Steve Jobs stated:

"We've been pushing the state of the art in every facet of this design. We've got the multi-touch screen, miniaturization, OS X in a mobile device, precision enclosures, three advanced sensors, desktop class applications, and the widescreen video iPod. We filed over 200 patents for all the inventions in Phone and intend to protect them."

While the patent does describe a useful—and perhaps even important—part of Apple's multitouch technology, it certainly isn't a "thermonuclear" option that Apple could use to wipe out its smartphone competition.
