I liked this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/aug/28/apple-samsung-foreman-explains .. in the blog roll to the right of the article.
Explains in detail how the jury worked and made the decision. Patents are tough. I got a couple for software, mainly relating to the fine old NeWS (network extensible window system) but then, while working on the Java Car, the skunkworks ended up with over a dozen all told. Takes a lot of time and is a hassle, but more: they are generally of questionable worth. Large companies mainly collect a "war chest" of them, and generally trade them back & forth. IBM actually makes a huge amount per year on patent licensing. I think I'm generally against software patents. But copyright is far more abused .. it can be extended virtually forever. Some protection is fine, but too much is oppressive. -- Owen On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 10:08 AM, cody dooderson <[email protected]> wrote: > > http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/blog/2012/aug/29/apple-samsung-trucks-nickels-fake > > Cody Smith > > > On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Jack Stafurik <[email protected]>wrote: > >> The ball is in Apple's court.
