I would take the car analogy this way.

An inventor had a patent for interval wipers and sued and won back royalties for car makers using his technology without licensing.

Now, if it were Apple, they would have gotten the patent for windshield wipers themselves and then said no other car with such could be sold.

Apple claims patent over something even more flimsier.
