Imagine you're on your way to deliver a case of beer to a party. Before you get there, your boss sends you a text: They want 2 cases now. You read the text while driving (don't do that), so you deliver an extra case when you arrive. Having successfully completed that task, you leave for your next delivery.
Congratulations! You might get sued by the owner of April's stupid patent of the month.
Apple has recently invented this new mind-blowing technology. Though it is quite fascinating, it’s better to take these patents skeptically.
Apple has patented a brand new iPhone case that will have the ability to let users charge AirPods charge by latching themselves to it
On day two of the iPhone creator's and San Diego-based chipmaker's trial, the companies unexpectedly settled, killing the chance of a $27 billion verdict.
because the US patent office has a bunch of people who dont know what else to do.
besides, the more generic crap they have the patents for, the less chance for a foreign company to use it in the US.
case and point, using your thumb and index finger to zoom on a touch screen phone. see, they gave it to apple, so when samsung came in, BAM!! lawsuit, free money for the US coz apple still had to pay tax on that.
