components, which, with respect to plaintiff launch tiles and 'Lila' only
if the threshold less than or equal to the user's scroll-driven bounce back
the sun appears and the user threshold of scrolling more than this drive,
so the sun did not appear to argue that there was a difference between the
120 patent configuration and launch, one tile and 'Lila' to scroll all the
components of the 120 patent, if more than the threshold bounce not happen
one hundred and two to the configuration can be simply added that is
intended, eventually including all components of the 120 patent and that
120 patents launch tiles and 'Lila' by the novelty is negative.

Launch tiles and 'Lila' by 120 patents of some of the dependent claim (3),
however, the invention is related to slow the movement speed of the
electronic document beyond the edge of the electronic document if the
configuration of novelty negative does not. Defendant's claimed invention

wide rectangular screen, speakers left and right as long associated with
the hole design is known, as well as mobile devices with touch screen,
typically On the other hand, the forms that because the width of
deformation is not large, and the possibility of wide variations in
operation buttons at the bottom of the Galaxy S products, etc., depending
on the configuration and design of these operations button, you can get the
difference between the overall aesthetic, the defendant selected buttons
and three buttons of different shapes, the circular design of the
manuscript, there is a difference. Furthermore, selected defendant's Galaxy
S product, etc., hair ornaments, 'hairpin' side of the curve, in the form
of original manuscript aspects of the design curve and the difference in
part, defendant's Galaxy S product backside was added to dense small
circular pattern and difference backside and simple, clean design of the
manuscript, the camera border, comprehensively consider the extent and
importance of the difference of these two designs, the two will be
different from the overall aesthetic design.
