Law and Order Remember when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, and proclaimed, to much applause, that they patented the hell out of it?

That is, if you believe Nokia: the largest phone manufacturer in the world has sued Apple for patent infringement.

It is pretty clear the US patent system is at fault allowing anyone unrestricted patenting on anything. Who but them should be liable instead?

In other words, MS will always be the exception to the rule, right?

It does seem like the patent office accepts just about anything.
