So of the six patents Samsung was found to have violated...

Three were absolutely ridiculous: rectangular black phone, rectangular white phone, square icons

One, the app bounce - that might actually be a violation, but it might have been floating out there from video games and other software long before the iPhone


The ability for a touch screen to differentiate between being hit with one or two fingers - that's seems to be a logical extension of having a touch screen, and would come up 20 minutes into any brainstorming session about what to do next with a touch screen - so I say it's a joke

The double click zoom - that's just a feature, no real technology there, I'd tend to say it's a joke.

So of the six patent violations, only one actually feels like a violation to me. The other five feel like things that should never have been granted patent protection in the first place.

fight the good fight
