If that's true, given that Apple felt it was being copied by Microsoft in the mid-1990s, took them to court, and lost — I'm not sure how much more "anti-patent" you can get for Apple than losing a case on its core product — then why did they bother to invest in creating all that stuff that's got them to where they did?
And, if an "anti-patent" causes companies not to invest, then how come, five years after the release of the iPhone, with it still not clear whether patents are being upheld or not (but not looking good in Apple's favor: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-09/samsung-wins-u-k-ap... ) then Apple continues to invest in the iPhone?
