Isn't this the opposite of the free market? Last I checked, patent laws come as sort of regulations from the government. And If I am correct, that would then be something that is restricting the free market. Besides, the markets in Europe are much more regulated than in the U.S.
I agree. This is why I agree with my brother when he says that Apple is a lot less innovative and a lot more sue happy. I read this story and wonder how it is that the EU can seriously rule that this design is too close?
