Patent litigation ... now beyond ridiculous!

Postby DJGM » Wed 21 Dec, 2011 11:11 am

I'm sure we're all aware of Apple and Microsoft doing their (un)fair share of patent bullying. Apple is still
suing Samsung over the Galaxy Tab because it looks and works a bit like iPad, plus Microsoft's patent
actions against various makers of other Android based smartphones and tablet devices.

The latest round of patent action comes from Apple, and it's about carry cases for tablets and phones.
BusinessWeek.com article ... Apple Claims Samsung Tablet, Phone Cases Infringe Patents.
I cannot believe Apple are trying to sue over the design of carry cases! How petty. How pathetic.

Don't get me wrong ... as good as iPads, iPhones plus Macs and Mac OS X may be as products,
there's no need for Apple to behave this way. It encourages the so-called "Apple Bashers".

Apple, just stop this silly behaviour with gratuitous litigation against your rivals, and grow the hell up.
Especially now that Steve Jobs is sadly gone, you lot at Cupertino need to get a grip, and focus
on continuing to make the technology that gives you such a devoted, almost cult like following.
