Of course you shouldn't be able to patent an entire discipline! I can't comprehend your point of view here.
And a million people had the idea of "controlling a vehicle in the air". Patents aren't for vague ideas, they're for specific mechanisms.
- benj111 2mo ago> I can't comprehend your point of view here It isn't their pov. 90% of computing patents are basically 'X on a computer' Eg the Amazon 1 click buy patent
- Hugsbox 2mo agoSure, things within the discipline of computing can be patented, but imagine if somebody just patented the entire discipline of computing. Somehow 1 click buy doesn't quite feel like it's in the same category as humanity conquering the skies.
- philipallstar 2mo agoThey didn't patent the equivalent, the entire discipline of flying. They patented "angular relations of the lateral margins of the aeroplanes may be varied in opposite directions with respect to the normal planes of said aeroplanes"
- Dylan16807 2mo agoOn my part, I'm not entirely sure what a lateral margin is, so I just answered somat's question which is about the entire discipline of controlling a plane.
