“The US Patent and Trademark Office officially published a series of 48 newly granted patents for Apple Inc. today,” Jack Purcher reports for Patently Apple.
“In this particular report we cover several inventions,” Purcher reports. “The first covers 3D structures like flexible circuit boards for small devices. The others cover Apple’s ‘Game Center,’ Siri on iPod and advanced iDevice metaphors.”
Purcher reports, “Apple was also granted six design patents including the MacBook Air. We wrap up this week’s granted patent report with our traditional listing of the remaining granted patents that were issued to Apple today.”

agreed. 8 to 10 years profit on coping someone patents then you get a wrist slap and are allowed to continue because it would hurt consumers if you had to stop.
Well at least it stops Apple being sued for using its own inventions.
