APT has a strong case.. This isn't China, where you can copy or closely copy someone's idea and "re-frame" it and call it yours. APT has patents and patents mean something. Ask Samsung.

You may think it is absurd but this is peoples livelihood on the line. Apple can sue for Rounded Edges on a square frame and win with the case regarding cellphones to the tune of 1 billion dollars., APT has a much more solid case vs Monster than Apple had vs Samsung..

Apple has been granted a design patent for the rounded edges to the rectangular screen of the iPad, Matt Macari at The Verge reports.

Apple owns patent D670,286, which is "The ornamental design for a portable display device."

That means it really does just cover the rounded edges of the iPad. "There's no other way to look at it," says Macari.

Apple also has a similar design patent for the iPhone, which it used in its lawsuit against Samsung.

To win a design patent, Apple needs to show that its an ornamental design, and not a practical design, says Christina Bonnington at Wired. In other words, rounded corners can't be essential to building or using a tablet.

Apple can't use this patent in a lawsuit against Samsung, Lea Shaver, Associate Professor at Indiana University’s McKinney School of Law tells Wired. The reason is that Samsung has made its designs different enough that they don't look like the iPad.
