Why Patents are Dumb…
Mirror Worlds LLC filed the lawsuit in 2008, alleging that Apple had infringed on patents for creating “streams” of documents sorted by time. According to Bloomberg, a federal jury sided with Mirror Worlds on Friday, although specific details of the ruling were unavailable.
In effect this is a patent on “Sort by Date” with “Eye Candy”.
When Patents are this vague, and this wide reaching in their scope, no one should own them. Not Apple. Not Patent trolls.
I rest my case.
