Pernicious falsehoods about Apple's iPad design patents (take a drink every time you see one of these in an iPad design thread):

(1) Apple has a patent on rounded corners.

(2) Apple has a patent on rectangular slabs.

(3) One example of vaguely relevant prior art invalidates Apple's protections.

(4) Prior art means anything that came out before the iPad shipped.

(5) There's no other way to design a tablet.

And remember kids: slavishly copying your competitors' designs and style should be encouraged and rewarded!
