These patent wars are getting ridiculous

Quote from: news
A court in Munich has ruled that a patent on the so-called “rubber band” smartphone feature belongs to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL). The feature allows iPhone users to scroll past the end of a list and then have the display bounce back as if attached to a rubber band. The patent’s validity was challenged by Motorola Mobility, now owned by Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG).

Seriously? List scrolling? Seriously? I have no words for how ridiculous this is.

It reminds me of this one page comic strip where Scrooge McDuck got a patent on hot water and then after sarcastic remark by Donald, he went to patent air...
