    They're not essential to make a mobile device, sure. What is essential, if you're going to be competative, is having a UI design which is intuitive and functional.

    Apparently though having a cluster-fuck of different UI styles and inputs is somehow a good thing now.

    Doing a fantastic job of painting the picture of only Samsung and Apple existing in the mobile arena disused. How come other manufactures manage to either innovate or license?

    Pissy pants.

    Samsung and Apple pretty much blow the others out of the water though, don't they? I'd say thats a pretty solid example of how important having a common and well built UI is.

    It's amazing that some people are saying some of the design features that apple introduced and routinely patented are now essential for these sort of devices so the patents shouldn't be valid. Actually crazy
    Most of the things Apple won on here have prior art... that they were even able to patent them in the first place is ridiculous. The jury should be ashamed for ignoring that evidence.

    I think Apple was formed purely for mowgli to get one up on us!

    Imagine if the patent scene was the same for PCs a little over 30 years ago. Apple wouldn't even exist today.

    Foreign company vs domestic company with a jury. Might trigger a lawmaking reaction.

    Apple invented nothing. I hope you realise they just took a load of existing technology and patented superficial design aspects.

    My gold plated butt-plug business is being sued by Apple.

    Apparently they have a patent for overpriced crap for arseholes.

    You sound so bitter. Did Apple sleep with your girlfriend?

    Yeah? It is the design aspects they created and patented, which have been stolen. No one is saying otherwise.

    Just in case you haven't been following the argument: It's the design patents which people are saying shouldn't be possible in the first place.

    I left the thread as it was clearly going no where. Why shouldn't they be patentable, when it is the design aspects that distinguish models?

    The design aspects (artwork, style etc) are already covered by copyright, like any other kind of art. Trying to take ownership of artistic/design principles and concepts is needlessly stifling and detrimental to design process in general.

    Trying to own concepts and ideas in general seems wrong to me as well - no issue with patenting implementation or anything like that.

    ...which leads us back into the circle we found ourselves in yesterday.

    You aren't actually answering the question. Why shouldn't design aspects, such as bouncing back at the end of a menu be patentable?

    I'm guessing you've never seen TVs or monitors? At the end of the day, there's a limit to what you can realistically do with a rectangle of plastic. Making it so that pretty much only Apple can use a rectangle with rounded corners is a little ridiculous. This is why you've seen manufacturers adding all sorts of random "flair" to their rectangles (so as not to get sued).

    Though with that said, Samsung do tend to make some of the more unique looking TVs (stands at least), so who knows if they can come up with something clever in the phone market.

    I'm talking about the software design aspects, bounce back being the standout example in the thread. Not the outer model (and there was a wee bit more to it than a 'rectangle of plastic'.

    How is it any different from other patents? It wouldn't be patented if it wasn't worth something to the owner so how does it differ.

    Ideas and concepts are intangible. Implementation isn't.

    Yeah, selectively quoting me to fit around a completely irrelevant attempt at an answer doesn't help anyone.

    No not really. Some explanation would be good. Because you appear to be trying to look like you are making a point without actually committing yourself to one.

    I have no idea what you want explaining at this point, to be honest. I don't see what you're not seeing.

    Edit: How about this - I don't consider UIX design to be an invention-style process - does that make it any clearer?
