Another Garbage Patent

Posted by chrisd on from the oh-come-on-now dept.

*no comment* writes "Literally "garbage patent" that is, Apple was rewarded a patent for the "Garbage" icon in Mac OS X. The patent documents can be found at the USPTO by clicking here. More on this and other Apple patents are in this article over at the macobserver."

    I can't believe this. Slashdot editors post these articles purporting to expose problems in the patent system, and they don't even know what a design patent is, or how it differs from a utility patent.

    I cannot believe this site thinks it has ANY credibility whatsoever. It is a total farce.

    Hems, Taco, crisd et al - GET A CLUE.
