They're nowhere near the same. The Apple design uses fixed pivot points while the Microsoft design relies on an increasing radius hinge to avoid "pinching" the display.

Hinge design looks really vague on Apple's patent, and it cover both inside fold (might pinch the screen), and outside fold (like this microsoft patent).
They'll still sue MS even if it's only remotely similar.
