Patent and Trademark Office granted Apple <a href="http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week46/OG/html/1384-2/USD0670713-20121113.html" data-mce-href="http://www.uspto.gov/web/patents/patog/week46/OG/html/1384-2/USD0670713-20121113.html">patent
no. D670,713s</a> for a “display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface.” In plain English, that’s a page turner®.</p>
