Microsoft has been granted a patent on the double-click by the US Patents 
and Trademark Office. The patent, number 6,727,830, was granted on April 27. 
An abstract of the application says: "A method and system are provided for 
extending the functionality of application buttons on a limited resource 
computing device. Alternative application functions are launched based on 
the length of time an application button is pressed. A default function for 
an application is launched if the button is pressed for a short, i.e., 
normal, period of time." Our editorial on patents.
