- Apple granted patent for ebook page-turning
- the US Patent and Trademark office has granted Apple a new design patent, entitled "Display screen or portion thereof with animated graphical user interface".
Electronic document page turning patent? Really? Is there no end to what the patent office will patent?
How is the patent office protecting intellectual property? I understand the need for protection from someone trying to glom onto an idea as their own, just because they were bigger or had more money, but even if this wasn't patented, I would think that the company that has more money than it knows what to do with could protect its own legal and legit properties...right?
Check it out...unbelievable...well not so much lately....but how long to the idea of breathing in and out......

And here I thought this week was already nuts enough. They got another patent, for .... oh to hell with it.
How is this even allowed to happen.
Sometimes, the things that are allowed to be done in this country just amazes me to no end.
How does it happen....well you know just as well as I do. But at the core is a false sense that there is some sort of overseer that keeps foolishness from occurring...Which we know is not the case at any level.
It's the lawyers of this world. You know a lawyer got paid to generate the patent and lots of lawyers will get paid lots of money when someone (or some company) "infringes" on the patent.
