Well, Apple stole a patent after they were presented with it when they lied about wanting to do a "collaboration ". Then literally GUTTED their engineering team with crazy sign on bonuses while using what they saw from that meeting and bypass their "collaboration".
I agree that patents suck IF there was no end date. But I'm totally ok with Apple getting in trouble for blatantly doing something like this.
Fuck Apple. They deserve this and more for being fucking too big to get in trouble.
