The USPTO has sent a letter out to Apple, explaining why the agency will not grant the company a trademark for "Touch ID". The latter is the feature which employs a fingerprint scanner to validate the identity of someone using a specific Apple iPhone 5s unit. The scanner, embedded in the home button, will unlock the phone when the fingerprint of the person pressing the home button, matches the fingerprint stored in memory that belongs to the owner of the device. Touch ID can also verify the identity of the phone's owner when a purchase is being made from iTunes.
As wonderful an addition ...
