Considering the ONLY UNBROKEN line in the patent, I don't see much difference in the two images you've shared, except that one [1] is shown in perspective 3D (and some color differences).
Why are you considering only the unbroken line when theres obviously more than that? The patent is for the entire thing.
Considering just the outline, the nest thermostat is just a circle. Considering just the first ten minutes, Up is a movie about a couple growing old together. This isn't a pick and choose thing.
It would have been better if before writing all super-intelligent stuff you had actually read the article or the patent, which explicitly says broken lines are not included in the claimed design. That's the whole point of that article.
