Steve jobs is the man who lives in trivia details. He, with his loyal staff, improves other refer as perfection. He has patents in his name 313, which range from Apple III iPod acrylic packaging. Almost all of them are notable, but few of them iconic.

The original all-in-one, Mac 128 K


Patent number D285, 687 not first patent Steve, but if you want something that started it all. The patent specifies the requirements to the development of the original Macintosh 128 K, the now classic commercial by Ridley Scott. The patent does not talk about its graphical user interface, just a simple desktop-based all-in-one computer design that will be produced 14 years later for the Macintosh in the revival.

Blue iMac for each

Steve Jobs was at the helm of Apple after buying its launch in 1996 year. The work was subsequently killed many projects, including Newton tablet. Then in 1998, translucent Bondi Blue iMac (patent D413, 105) hit without standard equipment as a SCSI, ADB and floppy. In their place were two USB ports (newish) and CDs. Widely different from anything in the PC space. But also sold in 139 days 800000 units and showed the Apple faithful and a whole new generation of fanboys of the true soul of Apple.

IMac puck

Not every patent Steve Jobs prints a steady stream of cash for Apple. Patent D418, 125 for cursor control device. But not just any mouse. Nope: this one bears the name of Jonathan Ive and Steve jobs is notorious IMAC washer, consider if you have not already done so, the worst mouse in the history of personal computers. But it shows the company's growing pains, trying to recover, making a name for itself thanks to its innovative design. Although it looked great beside lush iMac, it's just not suitable for human hands.

iPod, thousands of songs in your Pocket

IMac revived Mac; iPod was something completely different. Apple's MP3 player, technically began at the end of the game, as there were already major players in the MP3 player in the scene. However, the iPod with his "this is how it works" advertisement, showed that the public, all they needed to do so, insert the device into the Firewire port Mac and iTunes did the rest. Many patents Steve linked the original design of the iPod and its follow-up. These broad patents protected design classic click wheel and Apple with a whole new revenue stream during the build-up to the iPhone.

Even power adapters can be perfect


Patent D478, in 2001, was given the 310 and Apple still ships similar adapter with every Mac today. Any Mac owner (read: not necessarily a fanboy) would claim that he is the embodiment of the attention to detail. Dual mode, travel friendly adapter not yet copied to any Windows PC maker, which is quite confusing, seeing their obsession with the cloning of a MacBook Pro.

Many patents iPhone

The success of the iPhone could not be better demonstrated by then number of imitators that popped up after its launch 2007. Of course Apple sold millions on millions of units, but the iPhone success spawned literally countless clones, attempts to replicate the breakaway success through the same hardware and software. Patents D558, 756, 757, and the D558 D580, 387, filed January 5, 2007, just four days before the original iPhone announcement, laid the Foundation for a dozen more protection iPhone style and appearance.

Glass stairs


Apple just don't break the tablets, cell phones, MP3 players or personal computer, an Apple Store is a retail, the right to make, and Steve Jobs has two patents on the glass stairs. Patent D478, 999 with decorative design 2003, Steve jobs, etc. Trip at key locations for Apple actually allows you to walk on one of the most iconic ideas Steve.
