Physical design should not be protected
Authored by: PhilFrisbie on Tuesday, August 28 2012 @ 02:54 PM EDT
Have you never looked at a Honda and a Toyota automobile next to each other? Or
go to a classic car show and without looking at the placards tell two 1930's
American automobiles apart?

Imitation of physical design has never been a problem in the US or most other
countries. Just like automobiles, it is the technology inside (engine
size/design, transmission type, suspension, or CPU, memory, operating system)
that is important.

Actually, it is what Hogan said.

never mind what he said.

have you yourself looked at U.S versions of Galaxy S II.

if you think these look like anything like an iphone than
you are looking at them through fanboi glasses.

how plain can you make if you look at the products yourself.

perhaps the international version of the Galaxy S II looks a
tinsy winsy bit like an iphone if you are 20 feet away and
have bad vision, but the other version are much different.

was enough. Then when they read the description it matched. It matched because
the general description was for a rectangle with rounded corners. Bingo. Simple
minds yield simple conclusions.
