Registered 6 years agoThey'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.

Registered 7 years agoDoing 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.

Registered 6 years agoSamsung 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. -

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.
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 crazyThis post is sponsored by Apple and the iPhone 4S. Think different.

Apple invented nothing. I hope you realise they just took a load of existing technology and patented superficial design aspects.
Samsung and Apple make phones and tablets, they both like to borrow, Samsung a bit more than Apple.
Apple successfully sue Samsung for £1billion for stealing and not licensing patents.
Internet explodes with angry 14 year old Apple haters turn patent experts.

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

Registered 7 years agoI 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?Pissy pants.

Registered 6 years agoThe 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. -

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).
Why shouldn't they be patentable, when it is the design aspects that distinguish models?
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.

Registered 7 years agoI'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'.Pissy pants.

Registered 7 years agoNo 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.Pissy pants.

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?
