This is all I will say further to this discussion today, and I quote.

"Information kept secret, for instance, as a trade secret, is not usually prior art, provided that employees and others with access to the information are under a non-disclosure obligation. With such an obligation, the information is typically not regarded as prior art. Therefore, a patent may be granted on an invention, although someone else already knew of the invention. A person who used an invention in secret may in some jurisdictions be able to claim "prior user rights" and thereby gain the right to continue using the invention. As a special exception, earlier-filed and unpublished patent applications do qualify as prior art as of their filing date in certain circumstances."

Putting it in more simple terms, if APPLE sells an IPhone (you a sucker if you buy one, IMO) I am sure that all the physical components have some form of patent protection because a reasonable mind knowsto protect their A$$, but it's not a given in the way the software operates and communicates that there is protection unless the process is patented also, that is what we are dealing with @ VPLM.
