Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

I swear patents are bonkers. Netherlands court says in no way is this the same. And Samsung is free to sell their hardware. Meanwhile across the boarder, Germany outright bans it. I think BMW should sue Audi, because the small coupes look too similar.

Apparently the country of Germany thinks only Apple can make "minimalist, modern form" tablets. Does that mean Apple is going to sue everyone making Ultrabooks because they look like MacBook Airs next? Apple going to sue everyone that makes a cube shaped computer?
It's a shame these courts can't see what this is obviously about.

Yes and yes. Apple will sue anyone if it increases market share. This is Apple you're talking about (and there are many other companies that operate the same way as you know).

Samsung used the Space Odyssey defense, your argument is invalid!

Patents, IP, copyright, the lot of it. All insanely over-reaching.
