Unfortunately, the same system that encourages the invention from the aileron does not apply to visual branding, design, or interface motifs. It amazes me Apple is openly getting away with this and none of these suits are leading to a FRAND-like situation behind closed doors.

Or will this lead to new innovation that leaves Jobs' invention behind?  The Wright brothers patented wing warping and Glenn Curtis came up with the aileron.  Laws suits flew but in the end Curtiss won and eventually saw two rivals combining to form one company (Curtiss-Wright).  That company endures to this day...
