   Impossible!   
      
   In order to apply for a patent it had to be done within 1 year of   
   inception.  Double clicking has been around for decades!   
      
   There is also the matter of "Prior-Art", double clicking is   
   'prior-art'!   
      
   Regardless of what is stated in the description ONLY the claims   
   themselves are enforceable, the claims 'claim' what is actually   
   patented.   
      
   If they did get such a patent, I would love to see what the CLAIMS say   
   is really patented!  As they probably won't apply at all to double   
   clicking using a mouse, telephone switch or anything else that has   
   been in use for decades.
