The Unexpected Patents of Steve Jobs

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who-patents-a-staircase dept.

Harry writes "It's no surprise that Steve Jobs' name is among those credited in Apple's patents for MacBooks, iPods, and other iconic gadgets galore. But the man holds patents for packaging, a staircase, iPod cases, and several intriguing products that Apple hasn't built to date. They all add up to an interesting portrait of the world's most famous tech CEO."

    "Bill Gates has better name recognition than Jobs, if only because his personal PR department turned into another MS sales branch reaches so many more people than Jobs' work does."

    There, fixed it for ya.

    >> Probably a fair indication of what kind of leader you have on your hands ... definitely marketing/business for Gates.

    Not sure about that, but your comment is a 100% accurate indication of what kind of fanboi you are. FFS, just because Steve Wonderful Jobs' name is on all those patent does not mean he actually deserves it/invented it - its more like my boss few years back who was first in the queue to get awards and last whenever shit hit the fan.
