“We will be looking very carefull y at the iPhone,” is the warning to Apple from Southampton-based touch sensor specialist Quantum Research, which already has one lawsuit proceeding against Apple for patent infringement, and is prepared to bring another.

“The description of the iPhone suggests it uses a rear-surface touch screen, and has proximity sensing which can tell if it is held to the ear. That’s a QR capability,” Duncan Bryan, licensing director at Quantum Research (QR), told EW.

I would to see a product they have sold that has this in it. Last time I checked there was none.

Crapping, eating, and screwing are my capabilities, should I get a patent so no one else can do it?
