as an author of a small batch (~10, give or take some at various stages) software patents, my experience has been so far that the strictest filter is your company patent office - they usually pick the crappiest ideas dismissing the better ones with long-winded explanations (which almost always can be reduced to "too science-y") - and whatever crap they decide to throw on the USPTO wall seems to be sticking there just fine. I'm really curious about USPTO examiners brain inner workings :)
- rolltiide 7y agoone thing I do after getting a 101 or 102 "not patentable" rejection is to fire up the PR engine and get articles posted about the innovation and similar patents or products released by companies with more clout make sure to mention inventors names (link to them if you can) sometimes the patent examiner magically does a 180, hope the PR is helping another use of the PR is to find potential suitors and licensees of the patent its always written as a "not advertisement". kind of like how a buzzfeed listicle isn't an advertisement, but little do you know that the 3rd thing in the list is the one that got the whole listicle written to begin with.
