Who made that statement, exactly? The furthest grandparent post said that, "Apple patented a rectangle, and I haven't seen much rise in awareness." and I've said nothing more than to give the jury's own verdict on three of Apple's design patents.

For the second point, I've already said that rounded rectangles are just one part, though the original post by marcoamorales is incorrect insofar as it implies that the design patents cover only that. It's pretty much inarguable that Apple asserted design patents with rounded corners as a key design feature. It was important enough to the claims that there was a prior art search for that specific element:

The fact that they were such an important part of that design patent is probably what helped Samsung win on the D'889 issue, one of their few victories in the entire verdict.
