Jolla had such an opportunity three years ago. They had the TOH concept. They had a promising new OS with a promising new UI. And they wasted it all. Jolla would go down the annals as the epitome of a bad business strategy - except they won't because their execution was so bad that no one has even registered them.

Good ideas tend to reappear. It does not mean someone has copied them. The eye was such a good idea that it has evolved independently at least 40 times. Some mathematical or scientific ideas and discoveries popped up in ancient times and were forgotten, only to be discovered again. No one copied them, they were truly discovered independently.

We might expect good ideas to pop up again in the future. The other half concept, the swipe interface... It does not mean that anyone copied Jolla. Most likely those who came up with them have never even heard about Jolla. Which is kinda sad. Jolla had a chance. They wasted it.
