Apple Wins Key iPhone Patent Relating to Editing & More - Patently Apple

"Apple has received another major Granted Patent today relating to iDevices. This particular patent covers methods and graphical user interfaces that generally relates to conducting edits (e.g., cutting, copying, or pasting user-selected content) on such multi-touch displays. Humorously, one of the patent figures noted below that are describing the editing process, is editing a document called "Copycat" wherein the revolutionary iPhone is being described.
