In reply to V-Tek.

If you recall, and please note: (a) this whole thread is concerns the Steve Jobs era since it's about Apple stealing from LG and (b) you stated the courts have thrown "Steve Jobs under the train" yet your example in the previous post is a non-Steve Jobs example. Seriously, who are you trying to fool??

"The lawsuits are often referred to as “copyright infringement lawsuit” or “patent infringement” almost interchangeably." -- No sir, I am a patent holder and I know the difference between a patent versus a copyright versus a trademark or service mark, etc. These are different matters despite the fact these matters all are intellectual property. They are NOT interchangeable because a patent is not some song or a book that is copyrighted. I also have copyrighted works, but that is besides the point.

Now you accuse me of being a fanboy after I pointed errors in your logic and writing. I looked at the wikipedia link that you supplied and the evidence is mixed. All I am doing is challenging and exposing you. I don't have an agenda until you created it. All I wanted to do was comment how the LG Prada argument was non-sense since Apple has a 26+ year history of producing both the hardware and software together since the introduction of the macintosh in 1984. You were unhappy about my argument and then you decided to make a wild assertion of "the courts have consistently thrown Steve Jobs under the train on copyright rip offs..." -- which is NOT supported by established facts. You are entitled to your opinions, but opinions are NOT facts.

Perhaps you are just not used to people pointing out your defects. And if you use the term "consistently" then be prepared to defend yourself.
