It must be the week of the dumb-ass lawsuit. Now Adobe is filing against Macromedia for infringing on a patent that describes how certain aspects of customizable, dockable tabbed palettes function. I’m no fan of Macromedia’s implementation of user interface anyway, but at least they were attempting some sort of environmental consistency across toolsets. Obviously thinking about the whole thing for a while, Adobe has launched a new site dealing specifically with this legal issue. In addition to the goofy corporate mugshots, they have also posted side-by-side animated examples of how the two competing implementations look.
