"Design patent '305: Icon interface and grid layout
Design patent '677: iPhone design, edge-to-edge glass and display borders, front speaker"
Some part of me just wants to scream.
- wtallis 14y agoPlease keep in mind the difference between the title of a patent, and the claims of a patent. The title is inconsequential (and in fact, there's some incentive to make it as unhelpful as possible). The claims are the important part of a patent.

- gcr 14y agoAlso, mind the difference between design and utility patents. You can hold a design patent for a certain style of mug, for example. The Coca-Cola company owns a design patent on the style of the iconic Coke bottle, for example, but it wouldn't be able to patent "System and method for containing carbonated beverages."
- mdwrigh2 14y agoWhile true, I think looking at the quote from the jurors paints a different picture for their criteria: "Once you determine that Samsung violated the patents, it's easy to just go down those different [Samsung] products, because it was all the same. Like the trade dress -- once you determine Samsung violated the trade dress, the flat screen with the bezel...then you go down the products to see if it had a bezel."
