As formed readers of this webpage know Apple is one of
the original 4
companies to mass produce/market 8-bit microcomputers in 1977. The FTC
ruling has confirmed that Apple is a special technology company,
innovations and patents being keys to its success in the wireless
industry (iPhones) and tablet computer industry(iPads). Apple needs to
be protected as it's an invaluable contributer to keeping America
competitive and as a leader in mass-consumer, high technology, just as
it was in the late 70s. Or so it argues!
So Apple can get competitors products banned from import if they are
found to violate Apple patents, but if Apple products are found to
infringe other companies' patents, that's just too f*&#ing bad for
those companies.
Who says that the US doesn't have the best government money can buy?
