Legal Tussles Uff....

Apple and Samsung have been in legal tussle for long over several patent issues. Both the warring parties have had there share of wins and loses. The story of the long drawn court battles began just days before the iPhone launch in 2007. But a very interesting point came when Galaxy Tab maker put forth an argument that the idea of the iPad wasn't original. Instead it was almost four decades old. The proof was given in the form of a minute long video from a movie.

Which geeky director's futuristic project became the basis of an argument to nullify the patent of the iPad by Samsung?

A Sports Movie:

X, a sport, was first introduced in Finland as Eukonkanto. There are different techniques to perform the objective of X. Like, Piggybank, Fireman, Estonian Style.The X World Championships have been held annually in Finland since 1992.

Tales have been passed down from one person to another about a man named Herkko Rosvo-Ronkainen. This man was considered a robber in the late 1800s, lived in a forest, and ran around with his gang of thieves causing harm to the villages. His act post the stealing part is said to have give the sport it’s name X.

The current five time champions of the sport are Taisto Miettenen and Kristiina Happenen.

A 2015 Hindi movie Y somewhat popularised the sport. Although, technically Y is a Sports movie, not many realised that they were watching one because of the unpopular nature of X.

In 1977, X had finished producing Y and went to Alabama where Z was shooting Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

X was depressed and told Z that Y did not live up to his vision and thought he just made a kids’ movie. In a move to make some extra money after Y, X proposed that each director give 2.5% of their movie’s profits to the other. 

Fortunately, Close Encounters got X money and saved Columbia movie studios from bankruptcy. However, it was better for Z. He still receives tons of money constantly from Y merchandise, DVDs, and re-releases.

 

ID X, Y, Z.

The things you own end up owning you.

• When X attempted to publish his novel publishers rejected it for its disturbing content. This led him to work on his most famous novel, Y, which he wrote as an attempt to disturb the publisher even more for rejecting him.
• Writing in his spare time while working for Freightliner, Y was  initially published as a short story in the 1995 & was later expanded it into a full novel which—contrary to his expectations—the publisher was willing to publish
•  Y was later adapted into a film which was a box office disappointment and the critical reaction was mixed, but a cult following soon emerged as the DVD of the film became popular upon release.
• X later commented that Y ,the movie, was so good that he was “ sorta embarrassed by the book.”
