The iBag

Bill,
the OP was joking
It wasn’t an actual thesis, it was an exaggeration
That’s the way humour works
Have a great day

Yes, certainly…an opposing opinion on a bag design certainly makes sense to me…

Saw that… had to read it twice… thought it was some kind of April fool’s joke…

OK, I give up, what about Tiffany? Do they have patents on color lamps? I’m asking in all honesty here, I don’t know what your alluding to.

Herb,
The idea was sorta that Apple, by devoting design resources to a patented iBag for people to use presumably to carry Apple Store purchases out of the stores, was being stupid and over thinking a problem that didn’t really exist.I was just pointing out another famous retailer for whom the very same attention to the packaging has resulted in legions of gift givers (and recipients) for whom the packaging color and style ITSELF has long been a powerful and effective brand ambassador.
A Tiffany blue box – in a gifting situation – is a thing that a LOT of people recognize worldwide and associate with high quality.
Nothing more than that.

I think you are reading more into the post than it merits. It was certainly in part tongue in cheek. I don’t really care what a phone company does with its gazillions of dollars 🙂
However, I do think it’s stupid that this is something that can be patented.

I think Apples product packaging already gets there. A plain white bag… not so much, IMO. From what I gather the bag is just going to be a bag except that Apple’s figured out a way to structurally re-enforce it so that it can carry more weight than other bleached white bags composed of similar amounts of recycled material.
[Oliver Peters] “However, I do think it’s stupid that this is something that can be patented.
“Corning has a patent for making glass stronger (Gorilla Glass), so why shouldn’t Apple get a patent for making bags made from “white solid bleached sulphate paper with at least 60% post-consumer content” stronger? Sure, it’s not as sexy as Gorilla Glass, but if it’s a unique solution to the problem that no one else has thought of yet then why not?

In my mind, it depends on whether you are patenting the end result or the industrial process to create it.
