Hello, everyone.

in this sentence"FingerWorks had developed some tablets with multi-touch sensing capabilities and taken out patents on ways to translate various finger gestures, sue as pinches and wipes, into useful function.", I'm not so certain about" take out patents on ways", does it mean use patents?

"They had taken out patents" means they had applied for patents and acquired them for those particular inventions.

FingerWorks had... taken out patents means the company applied for and received patents.

I think you meant such as where you wrote "sue as". The latter doesn't make sense.

I think you might also mean "pinches and s​wipes", not "wipes".
