While James and Marguerite Driessen ’s patent covers a sort of vaguely broad concept — gift cards for pre - delimitate items that you buy at a B&M store but use online — I kind of feel for them , given that Apple patently dropped iTunes custom card game in the US ( while continuing to declare oneself them in the UK ) to get around licensing the patent after they need . Then Apple brought it back with Starbucks under their “ Song of the Day ” programme , which gives you a gift posting for a pre - fit birdcall at Starbucks .

But , since you’re able to use Starbucks Wi - Fi ( soon to be better than before ) , the implicit argument is that you’re able to really redeem the card at the store without having to return home . If they manage to prevail against Apple and Starbucks , they ’ll be grant a lasting enjoinment against the card unless the pair are willing to pay up . I ’m not sure I ’d miss the computer program though , since I ’ve never used it , or even heard of anyone using it . [ Apple Insider ]
