iPhone 5: HTC, Samsung to sue Apple

Ravi Bhavnani

Apple in turn is planning to sue Microsoft for infringing on one of their patents. Apparently GraphicsPath[^] can be used to create rounded rectangles, which as everyone knows, were invented by Apple. /ravi

I think the better result is getting the iPhone 5 banned from sale in the U.S., then hearing the collective whining of the Apple fanboys.

Didn't Apple also invent the rectangle? Or was it Al Gore? No - he invented the information superhighway. /ravi

Master plan: Patent the icosahedron, then sue Wizards of the Coast and everyone else who uses the d20 system!

I have to agree :-D

I want to know who started it. Have a feeling Apple did.

I'm using the iPhone, but I would support a ban in the US - so all the supplies would go to Europe! :mad::cool::suss: :-D ;P

Let me answer this: When the parties file for bankruptcy and get closed!

Don't joke: rounded rectangles? That can't exist! Either they are rounded or rectangles!

lucien64

No! According to new findings in a soon to be published article, Al Gore created the Universe and got robbed of it from the Dark GWB!

"Rounded" is an attribute of a rectangle. Just as "squared" is an attribute of a circle. /ravi

According to wikipedia: In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is any quadrilateral with four right angles. Sorry, but there is no room for rounded corners... :laugh: :-D . Splitting hairs is one of the favourite pass times for lawyers! But now, I think that Samsung can sue Apple for using a 16:9 aspect ratio! :omg:

Ravi Bhavnani

Based on your findings, I'm going to patent rounded wikis and sue both Apple and Wikipedia. ;P /ravi

A corporate lawyer once told in a seminar that before you sue, you need first looking if your target has cash. If not, it is not worth to sue (well a few exceptions apply)!
