> I'm not sure if this is a valid legal argument Well, a tribute isn't a legal thing (and trademark and patent infringement is not stealing). But yes, it'd be hard to see a design patent on the clock effecting a representation of the clock drawn on a screen (and any patent would in any case have long since expired) and trade dress and other consumer confusion stuff certainly wouldn't apply, as no-one is confused by the iPad into thinking it's a wall clock from the 40s. |
