Apple has benefited tremendously from software patents. I don't think the
iPhone or the iPod would be where they are today if American companies had
been allowed to produce knock-offs as soon as v1 was shipped.

Which supports the point I was making earlier: software patent laws help
innovative companies while hindering mediocre ones.
