Wait, so Xeroc Parc had a massively successful GUI computing product that they proved the commercial viability of through their own risk, capital, and initiative?
- jonknee 16y agoWhat's it matter if something is popular before copying it? If anything it's more of a dick move to copy something relatively unknown.
- mikeryan 16y agoIt doesn't matter if something is popular, but this case heavily revolves around Trade Dress and consumer confusion. If Xerox's OS never became a commercial product those issues are moot. Outside of this article I'm not sure if this isn't more of a trademark and IP suit then pure patent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_dress http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trade_dress
