I think much of our community actually does argue that you can't be innovative with UI (see wintermute's post above). In any case, the notion that UX is important and innovative in no way justifies the gross abuse of IP law we've seen up till now from everyone involved. Which leads to... > "We're just saying that most/all of it isn't worthy of patent protection." There's a false separation here. IMO almost nothing we do in the software industry is worthy of patent protection, UI-related or otherwise. To point at UI patents and scream foul, while giving a free pass to "real" patents (ones with academic papers behind them) seems misguided. |
