Ok since you struggle with reading comprehension, let me spell it out for you so that you get the entire context. I initially said:
I then added:
Then someone replied saying:
Now, no one ever claimed Corning was a subsidiary of Apple, no one made that mistake, and so the only way that the comment I just quoted can make sense is if we interpret it to mean this:
Corning Gorilla Glass is not Apple's innovation
Well, my reply was:
The only sensible interpretation of what I said when embedded in its proper context is that I am disputing that the use of Gorilla Glass is not Apple's innovation. Again, no one ever thought that Apple was manufacturing Gorilla Glass. No one ever thought that Corning was a subdivision of Apple. To attribute those beliefs to me, or to what I said is a rampant display of the worst kind of interpretive charity. It's disingenuous. The only sensible way to interpret my post is to realize I am contesting that Apple wasn't the primary stimulus in bringing Gorilla Glass to the electronic device market.
But based on this interpretation, Just because apple was first to use someone elses technology, this would give apple some form of leverage to say "we were first to us it, so no one else can use it in a phone".
based on the same argument. (company names are used for example, may not be entirely factual)
Kleenex was the first company to take soft tissue paper and wipe your nose with it. Therefore, no other company can release a product that uses soft tissue paper to wipe your nose.
Ford was the first company to take an engine from another source, put it in a car to make the horseless carriage, therefore, no other makers of horseless carriages who used any other means of propulsion can now use an engine from another source to make their horseless carriage.
we can also further go on to say, that Apple themselves were not the first company to use glass as part of a display. Therefore, apple using glass as part of their display on the iphone itself was also a copy of an existing strategy.
The fact that Corning designed and came up with Gorilla glass, and sold it to Apple to use in mobile phones, does not mean that they cannot turn around and sell it to any other manufacturer to use in the same fasion. Apple does not hold the patent on Gorilla glass, Nor do they own the patent on using glass front on a display
