Board 8 > Apple bans Google from selling the Galaxy Nexus

(+) Yeah! (+)

These patent wars are out of hand. Next thing you know, Apple is going to sue somebody over corners or something.

Wait, that happened last year already. Well then. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/18/apple_sues_samsung/

They're upgrading them all to jelly bean and disabling a specific search for now, so it isn't a big problem, but yeah, software patents need to go because they are ridiculous and help nobody.

Apple said it already holds a patent for a “universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system.

Why in the blazing F*** is it allowed to even hold a copyright for something like this.

Oh trust me, unless you want to spend days trying to figure out how these patents are supposed to work, you should quit while you're ahead.

Know how bad it is? The judge seeing apple and moterola told them both to talk it out and license to each other already. He called them both animals today and also said software probably shouldn't have patents, copyright is enough.

Ps, slide to unlock.

Also, here's something I've thought about. Microsoft has all kinds of litigation thrown at it, and a lot of it is successful. Not sure about patent disputes, but I know it is mostly antitrust stuff, usually with IE and Windows Media Player trying to monopolize web browsers and media players. Apple's kind of doing the same thing by blocking apps that compete with systems apps, aren't they? Except worse, since I could easily download Firefox and Winamp (or whatever else) without having to do anything special to my computer.

Litigation against Google and Android phone makers seems to be more about patents. I'm not as familiar with iProducts as I should be, but I see it as very likely that Apple has infringed on something as well.

Why don't I see more successful lawsuits against Apple? As far as I'm concerned, Apple does many of the same things that Microsoft and Google do. They just don't get sued successfully as much (if at all) for doing so.

And Google created Google Desktop first. I wonder what that does.

They've lost a few as well. As has Microsoft, to the point where they're lobbying to not have the 360 banned due to infringement over a codec. Totally serious.

And the patent in question is from 2000, issued in 2005. Apple is old. It still isn't logical, and no.

Android a ripoff of iPhone? Come on now.... :/ Now Google is forced to make a patch that limits Android's ability to quick search within the phone.

I am with everybody saying Software Patents are ****ing ridiculous.


I can get copyrighting things, especially things like games (which aren't the issue here for the most part) but

seriously guys

Actually it sounds like Apple's patent may go back at least as far as Sherlock, which was introduced back in Mac OS 8.5. But yeah it's pretty crappy if Google started infringing on a 1998 patent in 2004 and Apple didn't bother to sue over it until 2012. Especially since it's only being done to block a competitive product in a completely different market.

Worse than that, it's simply too vague. You can't patent ideas, but that's what they have there, an idea. All kinds of problems with this one.
