The parent post: used "concrete, clearly novel, and definitely
useful".
Concrete?
Novel (new) has been replaced by "non-obvious" as something new or
Novel, could also be "obvious", and simple to figure out by those
trained in the "art".
Useful? Really, has to be a subset of the replacement to Novel or new above.
Contradictions in definitions are what is confusing, and Bilski left us in that
"gray area" world, that means the patent lawyers still can make a ton
of money simply because Bilski, to resolve an infringement, or final validity of
what Bilski allowed as "possible, maybe, depending, while waivering-without
knowing what to really rule" MEANS MORE CONFUSION that needs a judge and
jury still to resolve (when it's just math). Copyright is all the protection
you need. OR just invent your own chip design (or do a "custom license of
one" from Intel, ARM, etc and write your own software for it... or, OWN the
chip, and use LINUX as you would still be able to protect your design because
you fully own the hardware and can set the terms of it's use, as long as you are
not able to run copies of your software on general machines (the general machine
is generic for a reason, and is sold as such by those who make them, to be used
by all and as wide a user base, unrestricted as possible).
