Apple has a patent on the iPhone, which is very different from a copyright.
I agree, patents and copyrights are apples and oranges (lol I made a pun) But really, that's a lot easier to find the line than copyrights. I wish someone would just say once and for all this is how it is, and this is how it will be. Black and White, no Gray area. It's the Gray area that gets me.
