In an odd sort of twist after all the lawsuites Apple has taken out against others, they have had to pay out £13 million to Swiss Rail.

All these tech patent lawsuits are out of hand. There needs to be a moratorium. And yet at the same time I understand the need to protect original work. I'm not an apple troll or anything, I just dislike a lot of the stuff they're doing recently.

 

If I was the rail company, I'd have asked for 2x that amount + a fee formulated on how many products are sold. Apple just bought their way out..

If I produce a physical chair to sell, & someone tries to take it without paying for it, that is stealing.

If someone else produces a chair to sell that is nearly identical to mine, that is not stealing.

It's competition.

 

If someone else produces a thought that is nearly identical to the one that I am thinking, they have not stolen anything. Not even if I "patent" the thought.

How did this get to be such a controversial issue, or even get to patentable phase?

 

Apple may find that those they sue are starting to sue back!!!
