Looks like the iPad design patents are the ones that got thrown out. That's good to hear since square rounded corner tablets have been around a lot longer than the iPad. They weren't big smart phones, but regular windows tablets, thicker and heavier, but still the same basic shape.

The multi touch/pinch to zoom bullshit should of fell too, you can watch all kinds of youtube videos showing windows did it first. It's absolute bullshit the patent office gave them those patents.

We need to fix the patent system, it's fucking broke. This is not what the patent system was made for...

This predates the iPhone. Sure it wasn't a commercial success, but it shows the bs of the patent system for allowing apple to hold the basic design of maximizing screen size in a minimal case.
