If you are
like me, you probably saw there was some sort of dispute between Apple and
Samsung but didn’t care much. Not because I am not interested in what’s going
on in technology but because these major tech companies are always suing each
other on patent issues. The latest came from design. Samsung decided to make
their latest device using the round edges similar to the likes of the iPhone.
Apple cried a patent war on Samsung and Apple won this past week with a total
buy out of over One Billion Dollars. So why is this such a big deal? Myself
being a design student, I understand the importance of taking good ideas and
making them great and that’s what Samsung did but unfortunately patents
overpower creativity and now we need to monitor the future of being innovative
and bettering things on a daily basis. What does this do to the creative
industry?
