What he says is true, though i think that when he typed IE, he might have meant Intellectual Property (IP).
Hi Craig,
Actually (id est) is latin for "that is" thats what I was trying to say, my mistake was to use upper case and no period between the two letters.
But you are absolutly correct in what you say about intellectual property. I just didn't bring it up as I thought I had covered enough ground, patent law is an enormous field to cover. It's good that you brought it up though, maybe people will want to learn more about this subject. One can never know too much about anything.

Yeah, I know all that. I was just trying to encapsulate the basic tennent of patent acqisistion without going on a long diatribe. Very interesting article though, thanks for posting a link. Obtaining a patent is much akin to obtaining a TSO authorization (without the drop testing), there is more to it than meets the eye once you get started.
Oh, I did omit the "non obvious" because I forgot about it, it has been almost ten years since I filed for a patent.

I figured you knew, it was more for everyone else.
I should have explicitly said that, sorry.

No worries, we're all here to learn.

I'm still wondering WHAT the 'patent' is pertaining to??

Actually you can.
Interestingly a patented design doesn't even have to work, all it has to be is novel IE: Nobody thought of it before.
hope this answers your question.

There are entire businesses that make boatloads of $$$$$$$$ by simply patenting IP with no true product.
As an example consider the company INPRO which has held R.I.M. , the manufacturer of crackberries, "hostage" in IP patent litigation.
or
how vast swaths of bacterial genomes are locked up and patented by companies just on the possible uses that may be found at a later date for these areas.
most "hi-tech" businesses take advantage of this opportunity.
many many businesses main value is their IP, whether or not they actually have a product is often immaterial.
be safe
