You are so stupid if you think so... there are many patents around, but they obey the common sense and logic... Apple does not really invent anything... nor inovate... they just patent ideas... like the square with round corners...
Also IBM, HP are big names in server industry (and have a lot of inovations)... apple doe not even comprehend what server means! Apple does not have it`s own hardware plant... they just assembly parts from samsung and other manufacturer (on ships comming from hong kong).
So basicaly - GET YOUR STUFF RIGHT OR STFU !

Actually Apple isn't patenting inductive charging. What they are patenting is charging devices one at a time when more then once device needs to be charged. They're doing so by time-slicing, as far as I'm aware no one else has this.

I'm not an Apple fan but this is a legitimate patent.

 

[spectrablue]

Sherman Anti-Trust the F out of Apple and break the hardware/software ecosystem apart. I'm getting real tired of this dung.

 

[garrick]

What's next? Apple claiming they invented wifi?

 

[sulanis]

I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to patent breathing air yet! Apple are a bunch of morons! Letting other poeple build and produce similar technologies is what drives development of those technologies.

 

[dauntekong]

Another stolen idea.

Apple... they just dont know when to stop stealing and calling it theirs...

US patent system... they are just a bunch of walking isheep...

This guy up here, AndrewMD, the big patent holder. IBM has more patents than any other company, they submit more patent applications than any other company as well. IBM is perhaps one of the most innovative tech companies on the planet, and you lump them in with the likes of Acer and HP. Perhaps Lenovo was you're target there and not IBM.

Apple has made very few product breakthroughs. A lot of their patents are not original ideas, but rather spins on other ideas, where there is slight improvement. They call it revolutionary, in reality it is only slightly different. This is a flaw in our patent system,

Apple is not the biggest fish, they are a showpiece of how American corporate law, and patent law are exploiting the common uninformed individual. Driving consumerism, by releasing their regurgitated designs through a pathetic obsolescence timeline. The uninformed masses that see Apple as this Guiding light of inspiration just gobble up their same old rhetoric. Then stand in line for their new from China toy.

Do you realize that in china where this trash is made, apple is not even in the top 5. The Chinese design and make better crap than the junk being pumped out of he design labs in California. The Oppo Finder is a great example of Chinese innovation that makes Apples AMAZING tech look antiquated on release.

:lol: this is so stupid it's funny...

[citation][nom]mousseng[/nom]And Tesla powered street lights wirelessly 119 years earlier. Glad to see the field's taken off so quickly![/citation]

He also had plans to spread electricity wirelessly all over the globe so anyone in any part had access to electricity

At this rate Apple is going to patent the fire, the wheel, bow and arrow........

 

[Botia]

That is how the patent system is setup in the US. If they have improved upon previous designs, they can apply for a patent. Then others can see Apple's work, improve upon it, and file a new patent. That's how patents are supposed to work and spread information and technology.

Yes, Apple and Samsung and patent trolls use patents for business wars and for theft, but the filing of a patent is not wrong in itself. This is a valid case.

I think Tesla would have something to say about this if he were still alive. Since it was his idea to transfer power wireless over both short distances like this case and substantially longer distances.

If apple is given this patent , I'm moving to canada.

 

[Lord Captivus]

Apple invented the Patent System!!

I can't help but think that someone...somewhere...will miss you. Bye.

didn't know that Nikola Tesla has worked for Apple!?

but thenagain, he said once:
“I don't care that they stole my idea . . I care that they don't have any of their own”

 

[tmshdw]

The article title and text is misleading and just about all the commentor dufus heads are falling for it, as usual. If anyone were to read the patent, it pretains to a specific implementation using magentic ressonance. A specific instance and application of a technology is legitimately patentable.

Apple believes it invented the Apple and sues Eve for overdue roalities.

Yeah dude, we get it. Its the sole fact that they patent the idea and not blueprints/schematics of such a devices the part that bothers us. If it was that way, heck, I can think of something 'futuristic' patent it, and voilà. Apple probably has little info on the technical issues involved, when they are only 'in the works' of that development. And yet they file the idea, with NO major background on HOW to do it. (Granted, yes, there is knowledge about distance charging, but not precisely what Apple tries to patent, and the ecuations for magnetic fields and induction are horrid, and surely very different of what already exists.)

Apple will never steal my diabetus -WB

 

[Guest]

The headline is trollish.
Got the responses you wanted to elicit.
The real problem is your patent laws and the USPO. The patent laws now allow "first to patent" versus the real inventor.
Stop blaming Apple and blame yourselves—you voted in these morons who made this law.

 

[twelve25]

Apple's most innovative department is their legal team.

 

[mdahlke]

Every article I seen on here about Apple being "innovative" is written by Zak Islam, I think he's trying to convince himself that they are...get over it Zak, Apple is not as innovative as they claim. Try to find a different topic to waste your time with.

 

[punahou1]

I don't like the idea of this being near my head....
