Parent article: Apple's touch-screen patent

Interestingly, according to FreeType's patent info, two of Apple's TrueType patents were filed on May 8, 1989 (and granted in Oct 1992). Per the term of patent rules, they should expire on May 8, 2009 (this year) - only a few months away. Wonder how much that helps FreeType.

Not until October, actually since they still get the 17 years from grant.
