Today came the news (again) that Apple filed a patent that could affect to all Android devices. The patent is U.S. patent 8,223,134 codes that include vertical scroll bar to disappear which usually appears on devices with touch screen. Vertical scroll bar appears when the screen is touched and moved up / down, and this bar can also be touched on, to make a more rapid movement. As is known, began to 2.3 Gingerbread Android platform also uses this interface system in general.
Apple is clearly planning to apply this patent is generally on the touchscreen and smartphone, so if the patent is approved, Google should be prepared to pay some money to Apple to continue to use the scroll system is good for the smartphone of the existing and future.
But if Google's objections, they can still use a traditional scroll bar always appears on the right side of the screen, because Apple does not cover the issue in patent filings, as well as traditional vertical scroll bar that has been used for years in various operating systems for both mobile and desktop .
