The people at the patent office have no idea what is "obvious" with respect to software. For a company, it really boils down to:
1) Patent a stupid concept (and most likely, never use the patent for anything)
2) (Potentially) have someone else patent it.. and then sue you.
It's a sorry state of affairs.. but those are pretty much the only options available.. - Posted by: d_jedi Posted on: 10/26/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
