enhancing innovation
You can't enhance innovation by allowing copying. If Samsung can freely copy Apple, how is that innovation? Let them innovate by creating a better smart phone. Before the iPhone everyone would have argued that the Blackberry was the pinnacle of smart phone design, and it was not possible to create a phone with a different layout of keyboard and screen that would work. That Apple was able to turn that 180 in such a short time is a truly remarkable. Look at Samsung's product line before and after the iPhone. It changes from a bunch of Blackberry rip offs to a bunch of iPhone rip offs. They didn't innovate anything before or after the iPhone. How is that enhancing innovation?
