Today, everyone is patent happy and every small little action is patented, so Microsoft will have its proprietary set, Apple and Google will have theirs, all the other vendors will have theirs.
Interesting discussion on the future of gestural interfaces and interaction patterns.
The bigger question for me is really wondering why we’ve allowed companies to patent interaction patterns. It’s not like we let people patent a specific way to swing a hammer in the past.
