Here's a link to the trademark claim in question: http://tarr.uspto.gov/servlet/tarr?regser=serial&entry=7...

Note the status:

> Current Status: An appeal of a final refusal to register the mark is pending before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. For further information, see TTABVUE on the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board web page.

Their trademark claim is basically dead in the water. Multi-touch is a generic term. I leave it to the other reply in this thread to deal with the debate about the novel work Apple/Fingerworks did.

edit: You probably owe other posters in this thread an apology for accusations of lying, based on your own misconception of what multi-touch actually means.
