Obviously the 1894 Panhard will not be mentioned because its design became an industry standard and those cars are not competitors at this point in time. HP and Apple are compeitiors at the moment. Apple's design is not an indusrty standard. HP had millions and millions of design choices but decided to ape Apple. If something's a copycat, journalist should call it every single time because that's the highest standard of journalism. Are you advocating for the lowest standard?

As journalists they have to mention that every single time.
Why?
Are reviews of the 2012 Honda Accord obligated to mention that the design of the car's steering wheel is copied from Alfred Vacheron's 1894 Panhard (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steering_wheel#History)?
If not, what statute of limitations are you proposing on this mandatory statement?
