Apple Wins a Series of Design Patents Related to the iPad in China

Apple has been granted a series of design patents related to the iPad in Hong Kong China. The designs cover the iPad dock and various internal iPad components such as the battery module (1101412.7) and the display (1101411.5, shown in an exploded view below).

Most of the components are not specifically identified and are simply listed as "component of an electronic device." However you could match many of the designs back to the iPad as shown in iFixit's iPad 2 Breakdown. The fact that design patents don't identify most of the individual components by category or the even the actual product they're associated with, goes to prove the short comings of design patents in general worldwide.
