- chii 14y agothis will work if the tech is sufficiently innovative, and is difficult to implement, and is not at all obvious that such piece of tech is the solution to such a problem. However, some of the patents i've seen being battled out in court is about the _shape_ of a phone. Rounded corners. Swipe, pinch to zoom, and bounce when reached the end of a list. These things are not worthy of being patented, and none of them are non-obvious enough to be called innovative. it is at these patents that ruin the system.
