Apple Now Owns the Page Turn (New York Times)Apple Now Owns the Page Turn (New York Times)Posted Nov 17, 2012 16:21 UTC (Sat) by Wol (guest, #4433)In reply to: Apple Now Owns the Page Turn (New York Times) by drago01 Parent article: Apple Now Owns the Page Turn (New York Times)
No - design patents *should* typically be approved as a matter of course.
The problem, as with ALL patents (and this is a very good argument for renaming design patents to something less confusing) is that trolls keep prosecuting them beyond their valid scope.
Imho, this particular design patent is out-of-scope even before you get to the first page ... :-) (It's not something the buyer will particularly notice until AFTER they've bought the product - so how can it confuse a potential purchaser?)
Cheers,
