Apple is unique in their concerted
effort to proactively build a large
portfolio full of these small GUI
utilities from ideas that existed
for years prior in research circles.
As the technology got cheaper and
migrated to consumer (e.g.
capacitive touch screens), they were
fat to take ownership of these ideas
they had little to do with.
Ultimately, this issue must be
addressed, either by establishing
some precedence, or by wearing them
out in court with counter offensives
so that they give up their behavior.
Patents should never be used as a
business strategy to protect a
market.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
