As a consumer I will always vote against the company that wants to dominate a market using unfair patents. On the other hand intellectual property must be protected.
No, I don't think Apple should be able to patent rectangles with round corners but what differentiates a brand are the features combining together that creates a unique experience. That's what needs to be protected.
Holding a Samsung right next to an Ipad there are similarities so it's a tough call. Either way the judgement will be controversial. But in the end, from my perspective, I want variety. A company that dominates the market controls the market. So I'll go against Apple on this one.
Let's not forget that legit companies will do all they can to control it within legal means. So protects Apple's property but keep them on a leash!
