Where can I find Apple's sliding unlocking patent?

Sliding unlocking should not be patented.

1, sliding unlocking is not a necessary patent, and the alternative unlocking method is too complicated. If you apply for a sliding unlock patent, it is easy to suppress the development of the sliding unlock market, which is not conducive to the development of the sliding unlock market.

2. Sliding unlocking is not the core technology. For many manufacturers, it has its own research and development capabilities and cannot be prevented from being used by other manufacturers. On the contrary, more manufacturers will develop more advanced unlocking methods, thus abandoning sliding unlocking.

3. There is no uniform standard for the patent of sliding unlocking, which may lead to a variety of unlocking methods. If the patent is adopted without authorization, unnecessary disputes may arise.

Extended data:

There are three main requirements for applying for a patent:

1. Novelty: The applied patent is unprecedented in the prior art and has never been published or used publicly. Moreover, in the patent application documents published after the filing date, there is no same invention filed and recorded in the patent office.

2. Creativity: This technology is superior to the existing technology and more advanced, which is unknown to the general practitioners in the industry and difficult to find.

3. Practicality: the invention can be put into practical use and create practical value.

For general patents, it is necessary to comprehensively consider whether to apply.
