Patent US9646028B2 – Graph Query Logic – Facebook Inc
- Ericson2314 8y agoWhat won't the patent office accept! It would be funny except for "first to file".
- brad0 8y agoI’m confused. Did they just patent querying a graph?
- ksaj 8y agoKinda. The first sentence of the first claim greatly reduces the scope, though: > one or more graphs associated with a social-networking system The rest is gobbledigook that would take too long to grok (for me anyway). It is some sort of interactive user query, I think. In any case, at least it isn't so broad that it means just any graph.
- otterley 8y ago(flagged) This is not a patent. It is an application for a patent, not yet issued, filed nearly 7 years ago back in 2012. An issued patent ID is only numbers, currently 7 digits long. Anything starting with “US” is an application number.
