Unlike any of the previous CEOs, we always see the figure of Steve Jobs following a series of Apple products during the time he was in charge.
According to the New York Times , there were 313 patents named Jobs in the inventors' ranks, often standing next to familiar characters like Jonathan Ives and Philip Schiller. Most of them relate to the design of the product, not merely the technological innovation, such as the 'decorative design for personal computers' of any model (eg MacBook Air). . Not only that, the name Jobs is also associated with specific nuances available only at the Apple interface as drag and drop gestures or flick on the screen to switch menus.
This partly explains why Apple has always been active in protecting its intellectual property. Like any software developer, painter or journalist, Jobs understands how uncomfortable it is when opponents copy their products without his permission.

And this means that Jobs, a design expert, is directly involved, not just what we often see in his famous speech and aggressive marketing campaigns. He is always present in shaping products, positioning curves, factors that now users of many different operating systems technology refer to as a benchmark.
