Are you seriously claiming these bands are identical in design to Dell’s rubber cable tie band, so much so that you, asshat that you have shown your self to be, have reported this as a patent infringement to Dell’s legal department?
*********************
They have design elements that are identical,, the slide in attachment mechanism , apple just moved the idents to the band from the receptacle , the nub to lock in a hole (identical except for choice of material... like that matters) and the band material , softened plastic. I’m just pointing out that seemingly you can patent anything , no matter how much of it is stolen... I could find DOZENS of examples but this one was right in front of me...
There is NOTHING new in the ballyhooed watchband that deserves protection... It’s like patenting “round” for a tire shape, or smooth edges on a phone.
P.S. I didn’t cry to the mods as you stated ,, maybe they’re just watching your threads... You see I just don’t care what you or anyone else thinks about trivial subjects like this, it’s only value is entertainment, I post what I see and let it ride. Sometimes I poke and prod where it’s needed or where it might produce some entertainment value. I’m just living up to my screen-name after all.
Adios!
None of that are "identical" and you know it. . . especially the slide in attachment which is entirely missing from your Dell strap. Quit lying, Neidermeye and admit you are wrong. An invention does not have to be entirely a completely new to qualify for a patent. You guys really love to stretch to bash Apple.
