Apple has now bagged a legal weapon in the form of a US patent for their multi-touchscreen interface to help them stand up strong against all iPhone killers. Issued last week, before Apple's announcement of its quarterly profits, the multi-page patent was issued from the US Patent and Trademark Office. Now, all mobile handsets and portable media players sporting iPhone-like multi-touch interfaces would be watched closely by Apple. The US Patent 7479949 was assigned to 'Steve Jobs et al'.
