But Mathematics isn't patentable...

I know it says that somewhere.

I'm an expert on perpetual motion machines, but they won't hire me. {:-)>

Patents in Mathematics

Authored by: macliam on Thursday, March 07 2013 @ 02:10 AM EST

To clarify, I should add that I was posting to highlight the inconsistency between positing on the one hand that software implementing mathematical algorithms (that presumably have to be assessed under Section 102 and 103 for "novelty" and "obviousness") is patent-eligible subject matter, whilst on the other hand regarding a degree qualification in mathematics as insufficient to serve as an appropriate technological qualification for purposes of qualifying to practice as a patent lawyer before the PTO.

I was not posting to make a case that mathematics should be patentable.
