I do not see the same execution going on here.

The only way to sue someone for idea is to actually claim damages for stealing the idea. In this case Apple will have to say MS stole their idea which might have caused them financial damages. Financial damages because of a cover is tough sell to the courts.

I am basing this on previous patent case between Oracle and Google where Oracle lost because they could not prove financial damages to their company even though they held copyright.

The execution seems quite different but the idea looks same. Isn’t it? Both of them have built-in magnets, as well as magnetic circuitry for automatic alignment of covers. Everything else is different.

One magneticly connects and uses the light sensor to switch of the screen. Windows Tablet is a totally different design. It Magneticly clips in a different style, has 5 pins whch power the keybord and light. nothing will happen. Microsoft simply created another level which is inovation. Everyone carry on what you’re doing, nothing to see here lol.
