I thnk the smiley patent is for converting the into an actual smiley pic. Also come on apple has very generic patents also like a rectangle phone with one button on the face.
So how come Apple took FORTY PAGES to describe a "black rectangle" in the German court case that got the Galaxy Tab banned on SIX points where it had infringed the patent.
"Apple patented a black rectangle" is pure bulls@$t and anyone with half a brain knows that.

The more detailed six point list is just describing a rounded rectangle. Still ridiculous IMO.

What Apple device does this so that it's infringing upon Samsung's patent?
Does Samsung have any patent at all? We all know Apple invented everything in the mobile phone market. All the others are mere copycats with not enough brains to create anything.

That is to all those on here who say "Samsung dont innovate" there is your proof that they do.
In fact, Samsung has been on the top 10 list for the past 13 years (except for 2002)
I dont see Apple on ANY of that list.
Frankly, I don't care.
It's not about the quantity, it's the quality and the pertinence that matters.
Who cares about IP, CDMA, GPRS, LTE, ... when we all know that it's the curve in the rounded corner that really matters, or the fact that the display is actually centered on the iPad. These are the stuff that people care about, not the antenna workings, not the encryption technology of the transmitted data, ...

You left out the bits about washing machine detergent dispensing, microwave oven platter spinning, refrigerator door opening, proprietary home theatre system plugs, shipbuilding, heavy engineering or any of the myriad of other things Samsung is involved in.
Which brings us to the point, how many of that long list of Samsung's patents are actually pertinent to mobile phones, tablets, PC's or other areas that Apple is involved in.
Oh hell, IF we must measure great products but the number of patents issue per year....I hope that is a joke. All the great inventors are only known for a few great inventions not a gazillion half-baked patents that only sounds good on paper.

I don't think any of us know. What should be clear is that Samsung appears to innovate in areas where they believe they can invent/create new features and products or improve existing ones, using them to gain a market advantage with their patented ideas. With some of their unique mobile developments being adopted as industry standards in year's past they apparently were "innovators" in mobile at some point. Perhaps it has their attention again.

Well, apparently at least a handful that Apple has either infringed or might have infringed.
Well, it seems that even rounded rectangles can get patented.
Even though I mock the rectangle thingie from time to time, reality is that the Apple's patents are not premised on rounded rectangles per se. There is more to the design patents than just that.

It doesn't do it on an iPad either.
This should be interesting, it takes a few seconds to show that iOS devices don't use this method.
They do use emoji which is part of the Japanese keyboard but that seems to use a different method.
