| 1195535 | 2011-04-19 05:26:00 | See here; www.nbr.co.nz What a joke - let's patent some shapes. I wonder what shape phones and tablets should be now - and what shape icons need to be to satisfy Jobs & Co. |

| 1195541 | 2011-04-19 07:36:00 | Orchardists should sue the Mac-a-demons for stealing a symbol that was once highly regarded as representing goodness and nutrition, plus a healthy lifestyle. Now, it merely represents the house brand of the new-age equivalent of button-makers to the Emperors New Tailor. No wonder Pizza is more popular than apple pie. |

| 1195542 | 2011-04-19 07:58:00 | Heh, just to clarify . . . :) Trademark protects a brand, e . g . , Windows for an operating system but not for your house windows, Yellow for a phone directory but not for the colour of the sun, Apple for a computer but not for a fruit from your garden . Copyright protects creative works, e . g . , a book, a song, a painting, a newspaper article, the composition of a photo . Copyright can be layered - so if you take a creative photo of your uncle's painting and your sister writes a poem on the printout then all three of you could have a bit of copyright in the bit you did . Patents protect inventions - that is, ideas that are new, non-obvious, useful in product or process, and described in enough detail so anyone can carry them out . But it excludes scientific discoveries . A bit like copyright, patents tend to build on each other in layers, so most companies cross-licence . In the US they also have design patents which are a slightly different concept . Trade secrets protect secrets . Well, they don't need that much protection as long as they're secret but it's a very important intellectual property tool in the business world! Just saying . . . these cases make more sense if you keep this in mind! cheers W |

I wonder what shape phones and tablets should be now - and what shape icons need to be to satisfy Jobs & Co. One of the reasons I won't buy anything branded Apple. Hope they loose and Samsung pulls out of their chip supply agreement with Apple.. Guess Apple will be suing RIM and HP next for look alike tablets.. |
