"I’m struggling to work out whether this is Apple abusing the US patent
system or it’s the US Patent and Trademarks Office that is doing so. It might
even be that neither are but I’m pretty sure that the original intention of the
system wasn’t that someone could gain a patent on turning a page in an
e-book."

"Apple denied trademark for music icon thanks to… MySpace"

"Between 1978 and 2006 there were a number of legal disputes between Apple
Corps (owned by The Beatles) and the computer manufacturer Apple Computer (now
Apple Inc.) over competing trademark rights. The High Court of Justice handed
down a judgment on 8 May 2006 in favour of Apple Computer, but the companies did
not announce a final settlement until 5 February 2007."
Sigh...
