Don't get your hopes up, the procedure is patented.
- cowsandmilk 12y agoAnd the patent will be likely be licensed for a shitload of uses... this is hardly a patent where creating a monopoly makes sense.
- MichaelApproved 12y agoSo? Why is it bad that the procedure is patented? That's not automatically a bad thing. People invest money and time into R&D and the patent allows them to protect the invention while they make a return on that investment. Patent trolls (organizations that patent something inane, never make the product and pray on businesses who can't afford to fight you) are the problems. I don't see an indication that these guys are trolls.
- vegedor 12y agoFollowing your argument, they shouldn't have a problem releasing the patent once the investment in R&D is amortized. Not saying that invalidates the intended meaning, just saying.
