I queried a Mathematician I know, and here was his response...
--------------
What would be the point of patenting mathematics?
You might as well patent poetry or individual
numbers like pi or golden ratio. "Software patents
are irksome enough as it is."
So then the Math Professor sees a distinction between Mathematics and software.
Interesting..................
"I might add ...
you might as well patent fashion dresses, or story plots."
So, it it makes sense to patent fashion dresses, it makes sense to patent
Mathematics? I'm not sure I follow the logic, but so be it:
