- CameronNemo 5y agoIsn't the point that a patented process is documented as part of the patent application? Industrial processes and materials seem like a great use of patents from my POV. Psychology and biology I'm more concerned with.

It’s not too surprising that a particular implementation that has various benefits compared to the existing state of the art would be patentable.
