Apple copied its interface for the MAC from XEROX. MS copied the Windows GUI from the MAC. It looked similar, but executed differently and had different code.

Look at cars today. Many look similar, but they are very very different. Is looks alone enough for patent infringement?

Palm had a keyboardless device out for many years before the iPhone. And Apple copied the Palm icon filled interface. To which I say again: So What!
