No, Apple isn’t patenting developers’ work. But it still has a bigger problem
- macmac 16y agoIs it considered fair use to include copyrighted material in a patent application?
- hga 16y agoPotentially. Fair use has no safe harbors, but I don't know of anything that would outright ban an appropriate use of someone else's copyright protected material in a patent application.
- macmac 16y agoI would expect that the starting point would be that using copyrighted material in a patent application without permission would be that it would be an infringement. The question is whether any exceptions apply?
