Does this step on the unistroke patent that Xerox holds that they used to sue Palm over Graffiti?


Looks like that patent was invalidated in 2004. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti_(Palm_OS)#Lawsuit


Nope. Read the next sentence:

"Xerox appealed the ruling and won, obtaining $US 22.5 million in retrospective licensing fees. Palm and Xerox agreed to not sue each other for seven years over certain patents, without publicly specifying which patents."


Issued in 1997, so if everyone just ducks low and hides from Xerox for the next 5 years...
