    Exactly, should apple be allowed to patent a phone with a rectangular touch screen. A basic broad idea like this shouldn’t be something that’s allowed to be patented

      I’ve patented the color blue. Anyone who wants to use blue will have to pay me royalties.

      Anyone remember the vantablack bs?

        Vantablack is a specific chemical product, not a color. If you can get something just as black via a different process they can’t do anything.
