Yup.The real loser is the consumer.

Makes me want to go buy a few Samsung products.
True. But patents can also slow down innovation when patents are given out too liberally. I don't think anyone is arguing that patents shouldn't exist but rather that the patent system is broken and patents are being given out that probably should not be. A patent for a phone with a curved edge is a bit much, IMO.They exist for a reason.

Apple should get on the consumer beneficial memory expansion bandwagon, but using $5 micro sd cards instead of $100 cpu mods is probably patented by every other electronics mfg. out there now hahahah
When I was in a startup we used patents to protect our inovation that we worked very hard on..
It took a long time to get those patents through and cost us money.. I can see that maybe some patents suck - but we had patents denied...
When we called in the patents we took a lot of crap - but we were losing money because people were just stealing our ideas...
