velu Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 RnD or copy/paste division ? that is why i hate their strategy they have talent and have some good software and hardware but they just want to shamelessly copy apple their hardware is copy paste ( Mi 4 is more closer to iPhone than Mi 3).. actually xiaomi admits that they are heavily inspired by apple .. i dont mind if they credit.. even though their MiUI looks like iOS , their apps are different.. first app i tried is their clock .. got haptic feedback for every tick :icflove: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crookbond Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 sorry but this highlights the problem with current system this shape should never be allowed to be patented no one designed rounded corners they existed long before in many products in similar and different categories ...rounded corners existed before and phone which look closer to iphone than galaxy s does existed before it and slide to unlock existed before it ...do u really not see flaw in system here ? and that patent was invalid in many other countries i think even in australia ..its old news so i forgot details You are misunderstanding what a patent on slide-to-unlock means. It doesn't mean there can't be another product which has slide-to-unlock feature. Nor does it mean there can't be another product with rounded corners!

Old guy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 also my argument here is not even about what you did with patent but how can patent be granted for something which is not even invention ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 this is getting annoying but i expect people to know this already but i will add anyway ...i know you can even register idea but rounded corner is not their idea or invention and there weree hand held devices before apple got this patent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crookbond Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 can you define patent for me and what is their purpose ? seems to me rest of world thinks differently than usa You can't patent a feature, you can patent the way you implement that feature. The purpose is to protect the intellectual pain the person took to come up with such a feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 in this same thread you agreed that you are trying to troll me :giggle: about apple logo being on patent not about patent of building or anything else i just wanted to clear that form start as i knew dexter is not trolling but he was talking about something else so it did not matter anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purpose is to protect the intellectual pain the person took to come up with such a feature.[/quote'] how is rounded corner a feature ? and there is no mention of implementation i am totally ok with apple patenting how to make edges of iphone that is real thing it exists even if its just idea its valueable but they did not made rectangle with rounded corner ..patents are not for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 i think you are the one misunderstanding what apple did here..they just patented rectangle with rounded corner for any handheld device! its not specific ..now it will probably not stand in court but that is my entire point why the hell waste resources granting these stupid patents ? i think you know what i am saying and i should not need to post nay pictures to prove mt point but if you want to i can ..

Old guy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 this violates this patent it existed many years before ipad or iphone edit...want to add more i know where you will be heading now that patent is part of many patents to protect product but that is not the point ..how can they be given patent for something which exists something so normal ....a freaking shape!

You clubbed it with slide-to-unlock and I only commented on that. i did not ...it was part of same law suit i think in hurry i mixed both ..sorry if that is the case and slide to unlock too was not really valid as implementation of it was different still do you think software gimmicks like that should be patented ? i have no prior view on this tbh as i do not really get how software works but i am aware lot of work goes into this but i have also heard loud opinions that it should not be allowed :hmmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 actually now that i think about it you never said you were against design patents ..if tht is the case then we think similarly no as you can read i am totally with apple in patenting their little innovations jsut not these stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
