Apple thanks Microsoft for inventing the Trash Can | |
|
||
| Time: 05:35 EST/10:35 GMT | News Source: The Register | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Most mammals hibernate through January and February, but Apple lawyers clearly belong to the reptilian genus, for winter finds them at their most productive. They certainly haven't been idle in recent weeks. We must thank attorney and Apple user John Kheit for uncovering a blizzard of patent activity since the new year that must be quite unprecedented in Apple's history. The computer pioneer has decided, posthumously, to lay claim to lots of stuff that it err, invented twenty years ago. The desktop Trash Can, window buttons, dialog boxes and a task scheduler have all been claimed as Apple Intellectual Property in a snowstorm of greedy patent filings. | ||
