- mikemaccana 15y agoAhem, 'target' should be 'rather'. Hooray autocorrect.
- burgerbrain 15y agoEven so, their trademark in that case was on the windowing system. Not on the UI elements generally called "windows".
- mikemaccana 15y agoI'm going to flat disagree that windowing systems and window UI elements are separate fields of endeavor, in the same way that laundry detergent and computer Operating Systems are. I think most lawyers would too.
