The abuse comes from most of the patents are jokes and never should have been granted. Often times they apply shove them through and the large amount of patents are invalid and jokes. Apple is one of the biggest abuser of the joke patents.
Yeah is it about the patent or is that just their vector for attack for the raft of crimes including poaching.
I mean when a person does the work and the company owns the patent in the person’s name, and that person leaves for a better salary elsewhere and “takes” the patent with them…
Android ripped off Apple for like the first 8-10 years.
How so?
Android had pull down notification first.
Android has a themes for the interface.
Apple runs a stripped BSD on the iPhone and Android runs a Linux kernel.
They don't at all behave the same and in each cycle they steal from each other. If Apple could sue, they would.

Then Microsoft should sue Apple and Android for patent infringement since they invented the first modern smartphone OS.
This is completely stupid. In a US appeals court if you’re in prison but wrongfully convicted you don’t get released on your own recognizance while an appeal is being heard!
And assuming that one component of the law is any less valid than another due to the impact invalidates the principal of law and order entirely.
The appeals court justices should be censured.

This is civil court, not criminal.
I’m surprised that people have conveniently forgotten the intense and ugly litigation that Steve Jobs himself levied against Microsoft for patent infringement of a “Window” based OS when in fact the concept was “stolen” by both entities from Xerox corporation!!!! LOL

Hope the appeal work in favor of Apple for them and their Apple Watch existing customers for product supports including after warranty period and potential customers for getting it. If not, hope Apple acquires Masimo for efficiency (preferably) or build their own oxygen sensor technology (inefficient way) if paying Masimo is not an option. Whatever works to keep the watch in sale! Keep calm, choose the best efficient way to keep great future Apple Watch sale in US and be successful! 😊 Nothing is perfect in the world, including Apple. Wish the best for Apple!
The ban on imports of Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 models has today been temporarily paused, meaning that the devices can now go back on sale for a short while longer in the United States.
Apple filed an emergency request to the United States Court of Appeals following President Biden's decision to decline a veto on the sales ban, allowing it to take effect earlier this week. The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit today accepted an interim stay while the court reviews Apple's request for a full stay for the length of the appeal, effectively pausing the ban on Apple Watch imports for a brief period.
The International Trade Commission (ITC) now has until January 10 to file its response to Apple's request for a full stay while the appeal plays out. The ITC initiated proceedings against Apple after Masimo accuses Apple of hiring away its employees to steal technology related to blood oxygen monitoring in the Apple Watch.

Patent law is not the same as criminal law.
And demanding judges be censured or impeached every time a decision isn't liked is getting old. It's like demanding people get fired immediately over one mistake.
Xerox was compensated by Apple with shares of Apple stock.
Probably because they couldn't technically here it until after the ban went into effect
Just Apple being Apple. Steal other's ip, claim victim and tie up everything in court for years to avoid doing the right thing and making reparations for their ip theft.
Symbian came before android and had pulled down notifications first.
symbian and windows mobile 6 had themes first.
Now they don’t. But if those who praise lagdroid have their way, iOS will soon be completely open and start to function just like android.
Android literally was meant to be a blackberry clone and they saw what apple was doing with iOS and immediately copied apple lol.
Let’s not forget Samsungs galaxy phones originally looked like cheap knock offs and even functioned similarly to how iPhones did.
Two giant mega corps fighting. Why choose a side?
Love your post. It’s so true and accurate. Why people can’t love Apple products but see the truth about what Tim has built is beyond me. It’s a cash generating machine and they will bully, steal, destroy and do whatever they want.
Your post is spot on the truth and the problem. And the problem goes beyond that. I don’t care whether one is liberal or conservative, the whole system is unfair from the megacorporations to the politicians who profit from them and allow them to do these things.
I have made far too much money from AAPL for far too many people. It’s truly a problem when these companies don’t pay their employees fairly, have eliminated all real benefits, and the working people of society don’t even know what they’re missing as they put a $1200 iPhone on payment plans as they couldn’t otherwise afford it.
The system is more than just broken, it’s morally corrupt by people who are cheered on here. Whether it’s shipping all jobs overseas or making all money by paying unfair wages and brokering deals with dictatorships.
Love my MacBook, iPad, iPhone, AirPods, Watch and etc, but think the system is truly broken.
I’m sure Apple went into developing this with that they considered their own technology. Whether or not the ITC decision was based on a technicality, we will soon find out. The fact that they are willing to fight this tells me that they are confident in their own IP and firmly believe they are not infringing — otherwise, why fight over such an insignificant technology?
