they arent the kind of R&D Company which really invents ground breaking changes but know how to buy out/get such inventions, design a product and sell it to people. They are extremely protective about shapes, names, user experience because they probably are Apples most important assets, even more important than iPhone, the physical product. iPhone could well be a piece of metal, but its the Apple which developed entire ecosystem around it has literally poured life into the Phone. Apple may not have invented things but can bring inventions to consumers providing great experience like nobody else.I don't get one thing, apple goes patenting shapes, ui features etc, does they hold any real tech patent at all? Eg: Nokia holds so much 4G patents it can stay afloat for years, same goes for motorola, they invent stuff, apple has a big design team and that's all, apple is not an inventor.
First they patent rounded corners, next appstore trademark, amzon appstore doesn't even collide with apples as they are for two different OS'es, enough BS now.Amazon deserved it. Good job Apple.
WASHINGTON: Apple has been ordered to pay $368 million for patent infringement in its use of Facetime, an application that allows for video calls on mobile devices, the plaintiff said Wednesday.
