Twitter granted patent on pull-to-refresh, promises to only use it defensively
Twitter was just officially granted a patent on the ubiquitous pull-to-refresh gesture — a touch interface concept the company acquired when it purchased Tweetie developer Atebits in 2010 and hired founder Loren Brichter, who invented the move. “I had started working on the patent two months before the Twitter deal,” said Brichter during a phone call yesterday. The application was officially filed the day before Brichter signed the Twitter acquisition paperwork. “The patent was the cherry on top,” he says.
