Re: good... I see. So if the government says a company is allowed to patent an idea, you are going to cry foul on the company when they decide to patent an idea. That makes no sense. It's called playing by the rules. |

Let me be a bit more concise: I don't claim to be an expert on patents. For that matter, IANAL. But I know something is ludicrous when I see it; and there's no way that a rectangle with a rounded edge is a logical patent. If it is, then whoever made this logo right here has got problems ahead of them (Despite predating the iPhone).

It's really gaming the system and ethically irresponsible. |

Once upon a time being a slaveowner, and beating your wife meant you were playing by the rules. In the end I imagine we are judged not based on how we explited the loopholes of our time's unrefined laws and thought processes but rather on our common sense, good judgment in spite of society's flaws, and decency. |

kudos:1 | You are going to compare protecting a patent to owning slaves and beating a wife just to try to prove a point? Wow. Just wow. I had no idea there was so much irrational Apple hate out there. |

| The comparison is not that irrational since they both used to be legal... that was the point. Also, since this thread is really about Samsung defending a patent, if Samsung wins the lawsuit and the iPhone 5 is blocked from being sold in the US would you be fine with that? |
