I have been following  the look and  feel patent debate.  Yesterday an
interesting thought occurred   to me! I  remember  a time when it  was
vogue to have commercial ads of famous actor  look-alikes.  It is also
still common  of  people to   imitate Elvis, Roy Orbson(sp)  and other
famous dead, rich people. The imitations went/go very far in the "look
and feel" of the alive/dead super-star, (voice, clothing, mannerisims,
etc). I am curious to know  if the imitations were ever "successfully"
sued for attempting to "look and feel" like the dead/live star, either
by the star  his/her-self or the estate of  the star? I do not  recall
hearing of such an event, but it may have happened!

Why do I  bring this  up? Well, I see a  small connection between  the
Apple's  patent  suit over  the "look and feel"   of  Windows, and the
absurdity of trying to sue a clone!

I am not trying to  introduce any  new ideas,  just trying to  draw  a
fresh conclusion, (if it has not already been mentioned before).

Well, draw your own conclusions...........
