That is, a waveguide ( tube carrying electromagnetic waves) isn't at all
obvious, given the scissors....[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

All software is information. It can be encoded in an arrangement of symbols and
transmitted over distance by signaling. Proving that it has no material
existence and exists only as an abstract concept. It is in fact nothing more
than a list of instructions. My understanding is that the courts hold that
neither abstract ideas nor lists of instructions are patentable. Software
performs no function and is part of no process. As it exists only as
information. It is entirely passive, and can only be acted upon by the computer.
The computer is not, and can not, be transformed by software. All it can do is
run the software according to its designed function.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
