A few months ago, the Apple company was announced that its patent for the rubber banding system, which implements an interesting effect at the edges of the iOS menus and is displayed when the menu is pulled further, was invalidated. Apple used this patent in the lawsuit won last summer against Samsung, accusing the Koreans of having implemented the technology in 20 smartphones and tablets, earning a lot of money based on it, but now he could lose everything.
Apple has the option of appealing against the decision of the Patent and Trademark Office, the reviewers who analyzed the initial appeal arguing that Apple did not take any action to implement their requirements. This patent is extremely important for Apple because it describes the technology on the basis of which iOS gained some of its popularity, and the invalidation of the patent that protects it leaves Apple vulnerable to lawsuits filed by direct competitors.
