There is one more strangeness, looking at their schematic drawings, it looks like this patent application is not finished yet. Maybe they have not applied it yet? 1058945 is, as they stated on their page, an application number, not yet a patent number. nb: when I was searching for patent claim Dispositif de saisie de signes comprenant une zone de base, I found another company (swypeinc.com) that has patented an input method. ___ Patent applications are usually only made public 18 months after date of filing, therefore you can't find it on the online databases. Since the, apparently international, application is in French, most likely it will be searched at the European Patent Office. Some useful links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent_application http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_participation_in_patent_examination In any case, someone posted in another mail that Quickwriting already has a patent pending.
