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.
