1) A coin op manufacturer sued a computer software developer because they claimed that the defendant's karate game looked too much like their coin op one. The defendant WON. This is (to my knowledge) the only court decision regarding "look and feel", and the ruling was against the claim. 2) But has this idea been patented? Patents are the issue being discussed. 3) None of the Apple suits have been decided. Craig
