> It is my understanding that the topic of releasing the Newton OS was broached around the time of the Lisa decision, but it was nixed by Apple. I suspect that there is still technology and patents from NOS that are still relevant to iPhone and iPad today.
Adam brings up a good point. Steve Capps tells a story of how he was called to testify about his Newton patents in Apple’s battle with Samsung, so they may still use those. However, it’s possible that that is ancient history enough that we could still try. Anyone know how long patents are good for in the USA? I thought 20 years but I might be wrong.
