And If you’re an app or software designer, there are even design patterns you can’t use because Netflix or Google beat you to it, and they have the patents to prove it.

This is not how patents or design patterns work.

@boingboingshop

If you design a button that looks and works too much like Amazon’s Dash button, or you build a geo-tracking map that operates too much like Lyft’s overhead pickup animation, you could soon find yourself fielding a cease and desist letter.

Um, no. Buttons don’t work this way and the linked patents are around specific interactions, not UI elements.
