Apple doesn't have a patent on the square. Or the rectangle. Did you not read the article? Infringing phones were phones with all of those listed characteristics; not just one or a few of those characteristics. The "Apple owns the rectangle" myth is just that: a myth perpetuated by those who fail to understand IP litigation.
- zobzu 14y agoIt's pretty clear they'd sue again if it was rectangular tho. Because the other characteristics are similar anyway and can't really be made in an extremely different way. I'm pretty much certain Samsung is aware that most people prefer the SGS2 (intl') form factor over the roundish one. That being said for a rounded one I would have wished they made it nicer. The HTC one is nicer for example.
