You can't patent ideas, you have to patent working solutions. It's up to the USPTO - and later to the courts - to sort the ones from the others.

- misterbee 15y agoThis is not really true. A description of a "solution" is common practice for modern software patents, which is legal gobbledydook that has nothing to do with implementation. It's no diagram of a cotton gin these days.
