This speaks more about how, nowadays, you can patent almost any silly little technical detail.

Apple's Design Head Jony Ive has almost twice the number of patents to his name as Thomas Edison. Many of those may be Design patents, but then so were many of Edison's patents. — PING!
Apple's Jony Ive's Patents outnumber Edison's Patents
Ping!
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
I challenge the members of the Apple ping list to each donate at least $10 each to the latest Freepathon. I HAVE donated $100. Many members of the Apple Ping list are already rising to the challenge. Join them. Let's show the power of the Apple Ping list in supporting Freerepublic!
If you have ordered an Apple Watch,
MAKE A DONATION TO THE FREEPATHON!

They grant you a patent automatically if you have more than 1000 lawyers.
To: Swordmaker
Think about how stunningly ludicrous that is. Just for a second.

I’d rather have Edison’s record. He invented things we still use and talk about.

Getting a patent on a technical method of rearranging computer chips is not exactly akin to developing something NEW.

and? Edison’s inventions were far more game-changing than stuff Apple comes up with.
technology builds on technology. Edison was around at the beginning of technology.

did edison have a building full of attorneys to fill patents for him all day?

I don’t want to take away from his accomplishments, but I want to keep it in context. We would need to compare comparable patents to know who was actually more accomplished.
Moving a wire from one side of the device to the other, while legally valid for patent purposes, it does not compare with the invention of the light bulb, for example.

An obscene perspective I hope the contemporary inventor doesn’t share.

You — and your friends and family — live their lives surrounded by things his inventive hands have touched. The iPhone, the iPad, the new MacBook. No, actually we don't.

Design patents aren’t based on inventions in the sense most people use that term - they protect industrial design.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Apple files designs in large numbers of variations for each (potential) product.
Meh.
