This sounds like bullshit but it is very real, they patented EVERYTHING!
Just like AOL sued a while back for the phrase "You got Mail!"
Apple patented "Unlocking A Device By Performing Gestures On An Unlock Image,"
I see a valid reason for patents but if it keeps being this way every appliance, electronic device, car, motorcycle EVERYTHING will have to have a unique interface, so my Honda might have an H shift and 3 pedals but Toyota to avoid royalties will have a "W" shift and 5 pedals, having to sit backwards and drive the car in reverse looking at the road in the mirror cause seating position was patented too!
