The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 82 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today. In this particular report we cover the projector technology behind Face ID, a virtual keyboard with gesture recognition and motion compensation when typing in a moving vehicle. Our report also covers three design patents and as always, we wrap up this week’s granted patent report with our traditional listing of the remaining granted patents that were issued to Apple today.
