You can't patent a 3x5 rectangular piece of plastic. Worst case they have to remove the design from the front and make it a little less specific.

I thought in Apple vs. Samsung, one of Apple's patents that was upheld was rounded corners -_-

Yeah, but rounded corners in phones :) not whiteboards. Anyways the whole patent-thing is getting ridiculous.

I agree that some of the patents are absurd when I hear the generalization of some of them, but seeing as I have no experience in patents (another headache), I'll keep my mouth shut :x
