The patent system has people like Apple revealing the inner workings of their inventions so that other people like samsung can stand on the shoulders of giants for the small price of a royalty. It works great. You are saying you'd like to go back to a time when there was no open publication of inventions and companies like Apple would keep their inventions secret and obscure so that others couldn't see them. Really? Cause if you want innovation, then you want Apple to win this lawsuit. If they lose then they will stop publishing patents and start keeping their inventions and methods secret.
