I don’t agree with it — very small things I don’t really call that innovative.

Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak, doesn’t care for the Apple v. Samsung patent case, saying “I hate it,” when asked about the situation from Bloomberg. Last month, a jury ruled in favor of Apple to the tune of $1.05 billion for patent infringement by Samsung but Woz says, “I don’t think the decision of California will hold.”

Wozniak of course isn’t a lawyer — nor am I — but I can’t say that I disagree with the court’s finding. Where Woz and I would likely agree is that perhaps such software patents shouldn’t exist in the first place. In a court of law, however, that opinion is irrelevant and I’d be surprised if the court decision was overturned as a result.

Regardless, Woz is reportedly looking forward to purchasing an iPhone 5, which ironically will supplement his Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone.
