If this is really resolved then the only losers will be the lawyers. There are plenty of features that could be copyrighted rather than patented. Patents should be reserved for something that cannot be described like the bounce on an icon when you open an app. Both Apple and Google are as guilty.

I do agree, but what about something really complex like an encryption method or algorithm? It is hardly something that can be simply described and patented.
