I think that it would be of interest to also explore or give examples of how copyright (and patent) rulings have played out in other parts of the world other than just the U.S (at least from what I have observed in this chapter).
trademarking is also an important aspect of intellectual property and I’m curious why it wasn’t included in this chapter
One confusion I still have is why is it that if something is patentable, it is not protected by copyright law and vice versa? How do you decide whether an idea is copyright or patent material?
add is an explanation of why tech companies like Facebook are allowed to copy key features from other companies

"Regardless of what you or I think, these laws affect do your work on user interface software technologies..."
Change: "affect do your work" to "do affect your work"
"For example, people write written descriptions of ideas in specifications, in research papers, and in marketing materials, all of which convey what makes an interface idea unique relative to other ideas." should be "uniquely relative" ?
"Their core argument was that complex, “multi-component” devices like smartphones and tablets simply cannot litigated through the narrow and granular lens of patents." should be "be litigated" ?
"Regardless of what you or I think, these laws affect do your work on user interface software technologies..." should be "do affect"
