            Samsung opened a store where I live, and the design is quite like an Apple store. I'd imagine this design patent is just to help them keep their stores looking unique.

                "Apple should have patented "gravity" as wel. since"apple" has a major role in it"
                lol I totally agree
                Seems like the patents were originally created to protect inventors who are trying to create a business. Now they are serving nobody except an apple that is still falling and it seems hasn't hit the bottom yet.

                      What's wrong with patent holders?
                      From now, no one can place trees in its store with chairs among them!!

                                  What the hell is Apple doing? This is intensely lame. For ages people/event planners had used such designs for wedding receptions freely. So they have to start paying?
