Um. First, let me ask you this: should Einstein
be able to patent E=mc2?
If not, why not.
Also note that Apple, when it patents things it
considers all its own, won't license to anyone.
They don't donate their patents to FRAND bodies.
So once they get them, no one else can use them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

And I haven't even attempted to patent one lick of it.
Even when my employer offered incentives for me to do so.
Because I knew better.
Software is copyrightable. That's all the protection it
needs.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Why should you be able to obtain a patent on something described in the
literature in 7,000 BP when the _only_ difference between the patent and the
description in the literature is literally the phrase "with a
computer"?
My field is crippled by patents where the sole difference between the bleeding
edge research of 300 BP - 200 BP, and the patent is "with a
computer", or "on
the Internet".[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
