Apples files a patent for a flexible OLED based screen/bracelet

HUD(Heads up display) has been possible for years. But i dont think it will ever happen because it is a distraction to the driver.

I totally agree with this.

Wow, lots of misconceptions about patents here. Not going to try to clear them all up as I tried in another thread to just clear up some basic points and it got out of hand with minutia rather than sticking to basic points.

But I will say this - the biggest problem with our patent systems is lay person juries. They simply are not smart enough nor educated enough to understand the patented technology. The average lay juror can't understand the abstract concepts of patent law, such as obviousness, either. They have a bias towards the patent owner because they assume if someone got a patent they must have invented something. And since they are dumb asses and can't understand the technology or the law, they return a verdict in favor of the patent owner far more often than is warranted.

The average juror can't understand algebra and yet they are expected to understand complex technology like OLEDs if selected as a patent juror. You don't need to have even your GED to sit on a patent jury. Heck, you don't even have to speak English to sit on a patent jury, yet you would be interpreting a patent written entirely in English and a technical document to boot!

It's laughable that this is our system, but that is where the problem lies.

Oh, my, but on that other thread you made the statement that you knew all this stuff (patents) off the top of your head. Now, just off the top of your head tell us do you know of a single instance that a patent case has been tried before a jury in which at least one of the jurors could not speak English? Now, off the top of your head, have you any ideas to rectify the problem with lay person juries? The problem has been worked on. Have you heard of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. It is a specialized court that was implemented thirty years ago or longer. It specializes in patent cases. All patent cases tried by juries in Federal District Courts are appealed to this specialized patent court. The judges on that court are trained in both the law and scientific technology. That appeal process will find and correct problems that may have been caused by the lay juries. Can't do away with trial by jury. That is part of our legal system that goes back to Magna Carta and is implemented in our Constitution. But, the problem has been looked at, and the specialized patent court of appeals appears to be doing its job. Now, what about your biggest problem with our patent system?

This reminds me of the PipBoy in the Fallout game series. I mean this is a promising concept but I wonder just how much will they stab our wallets for it?

They have no way of forcing you to open your wallet. How much you want to be stabbed with is up to you. If it happens that you like the new product, you will have your choice to open your wallet for stabbing purposes or then be content with what you have and keep your wallet shut.

That's what I'm waiting to see. If a product is worth it and you have the money then by all means, go for it.

Yes, yes. That has to happen
