iPhone-shaped paper notepads were C&D'd by Apple years ago. Is this produced under license from Apple? If not, isn't it awfully risky for anyone to contribute to the campaign when Apple could C&D you at any time?

- t0 13y agoYou can't patent a 3x5 rectangular piece of plastic. Worst case they have to remove the design from the front and make it a little less specific.
- quackerhacker 13y agoI thought in Apple vs. Samsung, one of Apple's patents that was upheld was rounded corners -_- http://asia.cnet.com/apple-wins-patent-on-a-rectangle-with-rounded-corners-62219397.htm http://asia.cnet.com/apple-wins-patent-on-a-rectangle-with-r...
- dusker 13y agoYeah, but rounded corners in phones :) not whiteboards. Anyways the whole patent-thing is getting ridiculous.
- quackerhacker 13y agoI agree that some of the patents are absurd when I hear the generalization of some of them, but seeing as I have no experience in patents (another headache), I'll keep my mouth shut :x
- dusker 13y agoThat's a good one, haven't heard of this before. Personally i think apple relaxed a bit from what they've been doing 3 years a go and have other things to worry about. Besides the design of WhitePad matches a number of other products on the market not only an iPhone.
