I cannot speak for PJ, but I agree with her wholeheartedly. The patent is a
software patent: all claims are method claims, none of it even pretends to have
an effect in the physical world.
It describes the general process flow of how the domain name reservation process
is handled in purely functional terms. As such it is nothing more than a badly
worded use case with a couple of alternative scenarios.
Writing use cases is a first step in software development, the hard work
(getting it to actually work) is done after you do this.
It is painfully obvious that the patent fails to recite patentable subject
matter. Besides, there is no invention here: it is not novel and obvious.
If this is patentable, so are all products of the analysis part of the software
development process, as long as the exact same process has not been analysed
before.
This should have been obvious to anyone reading this patent, so yes, it is
stupid.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
