Google is doing a lot of this stuff, filing patents on machine learning techniques from decades ago and loads of other things, and often getting the patents granted. It's pretty infuriating.
- mcappleton 9y agoA lot of it is probably defensive. If they don't Microsoft will and they'll just have to pay Microsoft. It's not their fault. It's the patent systems fault. I don't think you should be able to patent an algorithm, but that's just me
- Tanegashima 9y agoThis is exactly why I hate Google and want everything coming from them to fail. This won’t appear on mainstream tech sites, because Google buys the press, and with it, millions of fanboys. It’s a shame that excellent pool of talent is wasted in this company with no principles and ridiculously bad management.
