Ah you! I thought it was best to leave the conversation and all the links you provided either didn't work OR links in those articles never worked.

OR well:

'a flat piece of stone that has words written on it, especially one that has been fixed to a wall in memory of an important person or event'

So were many other back in the day. Nobody remembers those.

'It didn't as stated by dutch judges'

I do pay respect to judges, and they have all right to share their opinion. But as far as people have pointed out in all these threads, there wasn't a single tablet preceding the iPad with an iPad like form factor.

I have filed a number of patents in the recent 5-6 years; not necessarily to claim royalties but to save my work from people who don't respect Intellectual Property and Effort. According to me, the Galaxy Tab does pretend to be an iPad but that is all right with me(as I stated in the other thread); but maybe not to Apple.

And well, the store is different with the shameless copying of design and trademarked IP in case of Samsung Galaxy mobile devices.

There was. Either you dont understand the meaning of the word form factor, or you're just totally RDFed. Which one?

And no, the story is no different with the mobile devices. Your so called "blatant copying" here boils down to rubber-band effect in the gallery app. Wow. :rolleyes:

Wow. The link DID NOT WORK FOR ME. I am not lying. Lol; why would I lie?

I have attached two screenshots of the same link. I feel sorry if you think I'm lying. Huh!

Good lord. It's not the pre-iPad form factors anymore.

It's the pre-iPad-like-form-factor-design-patent form factors that are to be found out.
If there is any prior art to that, then I'm all for it.
(Lets not discuss that this thing should be patentable or not. Microsoft still patents buttons and UI design elements and what not.)

As far as the prior art being shown in this thread, all the products were hybrid laptops with removable keyboard with a depth of more than 4inches. It was totally different design philosophy then. And I ain't baiting you mate. :)

Once again, no. Youre wrong, plain and simple.
