The patent must be invalidated in the US as well, based on the prior art.
See this video:

The funny thing is, I remember reading about the Neonode before even it was released, and that there was hype building up about it -- and then suddenly it faded away. Seems that the iPhone stole a lot of its thunder, as well as a few seminal ideas...
I applaud Google for pissing all over the broken patent system. If not them, manufacturers in Asia are going to do it anyway. If you have an invention, make a product, sell it and profit -- or go pound sand.

i think the whole patent system s**ks especially slide to unlock, clock designs, GUI interface or bla bla ... jus a big lol for them making this stuff patent...
i think; then everything shown on a fiction film should be patented because they had that idea or vision before anyone else did...

Just another example of how the patent system is broken and how corporations just slow things down.
Yay.
Yay.
