Jobs Inventor In More Than One Out of Ten Apple Patents Since 2000
Last week I wrote about potentially missing prior art in Apple's multi-touch patent. The entire exercise got me wondering more about the company's patents and invention process. Interestingly, the facts suggest that potentially losing Steve Jobs may be more of a fundamental problem than would be the case for other CEOs, because he's listed as an inventor on literally more than one out of ten patents Apple has received since 2000.
