Absolutely, a ten year old monkey could design it. I’m not saying its ground breaking or special or anything other than *recognizable*. That recognizability was extremely valuable to Apple, and it also would up being pretty valuable to samsung. They didn’t patent colours and shapes, they patented the sum of those colours and shapes: the iphone. Samsung would’ve been fine making a black, rectangular phone that looked like anything else, htc and motorola have been doing it for *years*. making a phone that looks exactly like the iphone was a *choice*, a calculated and deliberate one at that, not a consequence of using a rectangular touchscreen. I’m not an isheep, hell, I even have a samsung phone: a galaxy nexus, partly because its the only way to get an Amoled screen without implicitly telling samsung its cool to copy the iphone.

You act as if the iPhones design was ground breaking and on a new level of electronic device engineering. No it’s a slab of metal with black bezel and a screen. Any 10 year old could come up with that. You wanna know why? Because its SIMPLE. I’m beginning to wonder if any of you sheep ever even read the patents apple has. You shouldn’t be able to patent SHAPES AND COLORS

No, they should make phones that don’t look like the iphone.

And they can only visit Facebook if they use the Android app. That’s enough to make anyone want to punch a baby.

I wonder if I can patent “Not” having tires on a car so I can sue Ford for inventing the Hover car one day…By Apple’s standards, it could work…I could be filthy rich one day =)!!!

My computer monitor is rectangular with rounded edges and a bezel, with a screen. I’ve had it before the 1st iphone came out, but don’t see HP suing apple about it.

So wrong it isn’t even funny. First IE wasn’t a monopoly they just didn’t offer an option to “not” have it. Second the Moto Razr did not predeed the iphone as the “it” phone, The BlackBerry did.

Ok I’ve read most comments here. Why is Samsung scared to terminate the Apple contract for parts they make? I would because I know Apple couldn’t them cheaper or in mass quantities or size or specs or in time for the next new release. Which leads to the next question. It seems to me Samsung could of made a iphone because they make the parts.! So maybe they were telling the truth they did not try to copy there no#1 customer phone. Now tell me why people bought Samsung instead of Apple? And I also think Apple had the patent Office or someone in there back pocket! How else could they get these ridiculous patents? Round corners the words app store non fancy. Face etc etc etc.! In a nutshell they collected technology we already had from other companies and put it in there phone and took sonys designed and made there phone and then sued the same companies they borrowed from as to not pay them there dues! This whole court deal is about competition plain and simple! The judge that threw them out saw the truth!

I agree with the verdict because the evidence is there. I don’t like the outcome but still, I agree with the verdict. I think most people here voted for what they wanted the outcome to be and not with if the verdict was made correctly
