CAmbrocio1 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 From my point of view apple kinda a copied googles design with the nexus they made it longer and of course added lte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow i doubt apple will lose if they are sued for LTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irev210 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 My guess? Apple will pay big bucks to quietly make this go away. Great post. I would love to see this at trial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnake49 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I am sure they will change their design of their clock. Not a big deal! Probably some junior designer saw a clock design that he liked and was not aware it was copyrighted. If the money demands are not exorbitant, they might elect to pay. Either way the guy will probably lose his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsnake49 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) BTW, my world clock does not show that design. Do I have to put in a Swiss city? Oh, never mind it's for the iPad. I have not upgrade yet. Edited September 21, 2012 by bigsnake49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChadBroChillz Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 It is only on the iPad. But you are correct, Apple will release a redesigned clock app for the ipad in the next few days if the cost is not ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_M_G Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 just proof once again of the hypocrisy of apple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S4GRU Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm no Apple fan. But I don't believe this infringement was a conscious decision by the company to copy. However, since they did infringe, even if unintentional, they just need to pay the copyright holder and move on.

themuffinman Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I don't think Apple should have to pay anything since they actually invented time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnygATL Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I don't think Apple should have to pay anything since they actually invented time. ba ha ha ha ha ha! I think they'd argue they actually evented God, even before God dreamt up the concept of time. So take that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
