How do you get a patent regarding "A method includes addressing, through a command generated by an application [...] based on an appropriate communication link" to be issued?
All I read was "This patent regards using a software-controlled computer to communicate with another computer in an arbitrary manner which can allow for data statistics and performance tracking. Oh, wait, that's not specific... Hmm... Oh wait! Yes, and you have to get the data from a register."
- antidoh 14y ago"How do you get a patent ..." The only way I can make sense of these ridiculous patents is if the patent examiners are under pressure to grant patents as part of their yearly performance metrics.
- rayiner 14y agoPatent examiners actually take pride in their high rejection ratio.
- antidoh 14y agoAnd yet the environment in which they work encourages more granted patents, as the new patent examination facilities being promoted by the administration imply (to me). Obama's/admin's stated reasons are to grant more patents faster.
- chris_wot 14y agoTheir rejection rate by women? Seriously, we keep seeing these brain dead patents. If the patent examiner doesn't understand linked lists, they shouldn't be examining the patents!
