It's not. This is just a patent application. All that was needed to get this far was to 1) write some documents and fill out some forms 2) pay a fee.
- collyw 10y agoPatents are granted to novel ideas. It should be novel if you are applying for one.
- pwg 10y agoWell, yes, but there's no filtering for 'novelty' on that portion of the process. So you, provided you want to pay the fee, can apply for anything, novel or not. If it is not novel, then you should never receive a patent on it, but that does not stop you from trying by sending in the paperwork.
