Apple Inc. sued HTC patent infringements since many years ago, show that the powerful patents are useful weapons to get higher market shares. In view of previous researches, most studies focus on the technical aspects of the formulation of business strategy, this study will investigate Apple's patent gestures on the touch panel, how to layout, and obtained an overwhelming advantage. In the beginning, to introduce touch gestures for technical, industrial patterns and analyze the present state of development introduced by browsing the industry professionals, including industry reports, papers, and other relevant information. The search strategy will be established and keywords are organized into search query in the United States Patent database. We can get patent maps for macroscopic analysis. And then analyzed by microscopic methods, pick out of the 30 important patents owned by Apple, based on patent name, publication number, application number and separate items and descriptions. The embodiments of all patents are listed and detailed view, followed by an analysis of the scope of its independent claim, whichever compared with its provisional text for ways how they affect subsequent patent scope, and how Apple combine embodiments to expand the scope of claims, resulting in competing companies unavoidable designs. The study shows: (a)The touch gesture technology will continue to develop, whereas Samsung and Microsoft are the main competitors, Taiwanese manufacturers own a good R&D strength but scatter. (b)In the international patent portfolios, Apple file to USPTO as the first office to get an earlier filing date of provisional application, and combine theses in a short term to grant U.S. Patent, the PCT applications are USPTO as receiving Office, and designate EPO as search authority, and then enter national phase in EPO, JP and other countries. (c) Apple’s gestures’ patents covering broad scope, any one of them will be a powerful litigation weapon after granted. none 劉國讚 2013 學位論文 ; thesis 141 zh-TW
