I don't know how or where to draw the line, but it has to be drawn somewhere.

What if someone decided to patent text fields? Or dropdown menus? It gets so crazy if absolutely every design feature becomes patentable.

I say theres an easy way to test whether the "invention" deserves to be patenable - if you can work out an implementation without reading the patent, but by just looking at the end product, then it is not patentable.
