I simply say that:
1) Apple has sued numerous competitors and has won many cases using trivial patents.
2) Numerous competitors have sued Apple for valid, non-BS patents in return and Apple has been found not to infringe a Single patent by ANY of its competitors.
3)In the latest Samsung vs Apple case, numerous inconsistencies were noted by many notable sources (including Groklaw)
And then, I simply say conclude that:
1) Something is wrong with this system; Which may have/most likely involved illegal money (This speculation is because of the reasons above)
2) All these legal systems and patents are hindering innovation. (And I include a personal story of mine, as a member of the start-up community and how it affects us in general)
If you still have a hard time understanding, please let me know. We will have a cup of tea together.
