I think that Apple complains about the matter that product and package design was imitated it is not a technological patent. The Pak Lee (Pa-Ku-Ri, imitate, steal, aping, copying, plagiarism, rob) is nothing new.
How many things were imitated without RIGHTS by a company, the government and a country?
