Yes. First official claim and documentation supplants all prior ideas.. Great. Wildly innovative of them, huh? The bottom line is that a lot these of these “ideas” are no older than 2010. You can search and explain all you want, but you can’t put enough lipstick or perfume on the reality of what this shows. I have lots of Apple stuff. But I know what this is.
Read what I said. Ideas are not patentable. Techniques for implementing ideas are patentable. What is your problem with that? Google has a patent on a Virtual Reality System. Microsoft has a patent on a Virtual Reality System. They all use a different technique for accomplishing the SAME IDEA. No conflict in the patents. . . and those patents probably reference those patents. No lipstick, no perfume. There was a Virtual Reality system back in the late 1980s. . . it gave people headaches who used it. I am certain that all of these patents reference the patent on that one. What is your problem?
