![]() the filing of goofy patents.
For a while, there was a thriving business model consisting of 1) Take a fairly common business practice 2) Add either "with a computer" or "online" to the description 3) patent the result I was intending to add "4) do that on the Internet, using a computer" and file for a patent... But first, I need to get my school, Fagin's Academy of Applied Alternative Ethics, chartered. |
