Since there is prior art, the patent isn't original, so it would never stand up in court.

Of course, that doesn't stop Apples lawyers threatening to sue you and maybe even going to court with all the related costs...

I always wonder how companies get all sorts of stuff to sue which has no foundation and survive the court system.

Money, money, money. They drag it out in court until their victims have no money left to keep fighting it.

Apple are nothing but a bunch of lowlife patent trolling cunts.

Yep. Hey, good job there, legal system!
If you can afford to be wrong long enough, nobody will contest it. Except maybe another huge company, and then we have 2 problems instead of 1.
