From my point of view you are overly sensitive to any anti-american criticism. I'm afraid I think you are overreacting. |

Oh you said orginal post, I thought that meant any other post. Ok, the al-quaida bit was tasteless, but the first part is valid for me. |

Things to Patent: Method of pleasing a man, method of mass killing of biological lifeforms, extermination process of iraqi and islamic terrorists, public rumor spreading technologies, methods of killing one's own self, and comming soon: a patent covering the application of the laws of physics through the use of scientific processes.

Quote: What happens if it is patented and still someone commits suicide? Who gets the blame? The people who provided the items to be used in the process of killing one's self. It can easily be said that the manufacturer "obviously" had the intention of providing such a weapon of the said item, and should be sued due to the death of the person. |

I found what some other guy posted on slashdot! "And for a cancer detection firm in Utah, it ahs paid off. They "patented" a gene sequence which tests for the likelihood of breast cancer (I think). Note that they didn't patent the test process, but the information in the gene. Now, no matter what process you use to determine the condition of the gene, you cannot use it for cancer detection without paying a $10k fee to that company. They "own" the exclusive right to the "data". Sort of like patenting moon-dogs as a predictor of coming precipitation, or the presence of a high pressure as a predictor of clear weather. They're natural facts, observable by anyone with the proper instruments. But they're patentable now. (iirc, Canada got into trouble over the cancer detection thing)." ----------------- |

He wouldn't get blamed for the suicide, but rather get a cut of money from the parents of those who committed it using his patented method. Quote: a patent covering the application of the laws of physics through the use of scientific processe Too late. I've already got a patent pending on it. |

Actually, the trick is to patent the process of filing a patent application. That would just totally hose the works. --> |

What about patenting patent enforcing. That could either stop it or create a lot of revenue, both are good, at least for the patent holder __________ |

No, those are too absurd. You have to have some limits.
.. And many more, of course. |

Is the idea of patenting video game concepts necessarily a new thing? I believe that the people who stole Tetris attempted to seize legal control over it to no avail. Oh, but that was Russia; let a couple (2) American lawers bring up the idea and it's time to start advocating a violent overthrow of the US goverment and its people. -- |

You shouldn't be able to patent anything that has already been used. |

Yes, you shouldn'yt but that doesn't mean they can't original post said: [...]Where two IP lawyers try to convince the videogame industry of patenting everything in sight: ideas, technical contributions, etc. They show as an example a Microsoft patent on Scoring based upon goals achieved and subjective elements.
