I really like the idea to have some Swype-like input for Jolla - it's
one of the hardest things to leave behind from N9, and something you
really notice when going to plain touchscreen keyboards.

But - are there patents covering this sort of functionality? I don't
want to be the rain at the parade, but presumably the people behind
Swype have some patent lawyers and some IP?

A quick look at the bottom of the Wikipedia entry for Swype confirms
my suspicion... (2 US patents). :-(

Where do app developers and Jolla stand in relation to implementing
patented functionality?
