But when it comes to something like UI, which someone hacked up over the course of a few hours... does this justify exclusivity for years? In theory though that shouldn't justify a SW patent either. It seems like if we really held true to the non-obviousness test things would be better. Ironically MS has a court case in the Supreme Court to weaken patents, which would in turn makes it easier for BN to overturn MS's patents.
