Presumably most of you are in favor of Pentax being granted patents on
their innovations and would have an opinion if some other company
"lifted them" to Pentax's detriment. Frankly, it seems like some of
you hear the word "Apple" and your heads disappear up your arses.
In point of fact, Pentax invented the reflex mirror camera design, and
had the patent stripped from them "for the good of the Japanese camera
industry".
And here we are, a half century later buying cameras from a company that
has been on life support for the better part of a quarter century.
Whoever allowed Apple to patent the rounded corner rectangle needs to
have his balls removed. It was a stupid patent to allow.
One also has to wonder just how fair a trial it was, what with it
pitting an American company against a Korean company, and leaving the
decision up to American jurors.
