I apologize if you really didn't know that Apple didn't make that accusation.

On August 24, 2012 the jury returned a verdict largely favorable to Apple. It found that Samsung had willfully infringed on Apple's design and utility patents and had also diluted Apple's trade dresses related to the iPhone ... The jury found Samsung infringed ... design patents that covers iPhone's features such as the "home button, rounded corners and tapered edges" (US D593087) and "On-Screen Icons" (US D604305). Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Samsung_Electronics_Co.,_Ltd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Inc._v._Samsung_Electroni.... This seems to indicate that Apple did indeed assert what I claimed. Can you show me how this is false?

  Pretty sure Google's own lawyers told Samsung the design was too close before it was even released.

  This document proves that the meme is false and that Apple did not attempt to protect 'rounded corners'. Apple asserted a design patent that protects the overall appearance of the iPhone - the 'trade dress'. Rounded corners are one of many attributes that describe the appearance of the iPhone. If you copy enough attributes - as the court ruled that Samsung did, you have copied the appearance. Taking a single element out of context is a lie that Samsung originated, designed to give the appearance that Apple attempted to protect a ridiculously broad concept which the documents show that they did not do.

    > This document proves that the meme is false and that Apple did not attempt to protect 'rounded corners'. You are straight up lying here. Observe the patent: http://www.google.com/patents/USD593087 http://www.google.com/patents/USD593087 'many attributes' in this case meaning 'two attributes'. Reading your post history you have a short history of only posting pro Apple and repeating many similar assertions. Yet you have the gall to accuse me of being a paid shill. Hilarious.

      No - it's you that is lying: (from the patent) CLAIMS The ornamental design of an electronic device, substantially as shown and described. The picture clearly shows more than just two attributes and is a key part of the exhibit. I make no secret of defending Apple against false accusations. They are in no way a flawless company, but the mindless pile on of inaccurate statements helps nobody.
