Follow-up on my above post - also that copyright protection
does NOT exist for the reference implementation (nothing
should get BOTH patent AND copyright protection). Anyone can
use the reference implementation (maybe under BSD, if not
public domain?)

Whether the model is working or not would have to be tested upon infringment
claims, otherwise it's meaningless.
Yes, this would lead to models written in no-longer-supported proprietary
languages being basically unenforcable, but I consider that a good thing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Any requirement that a software patent application includes a working version
of the algorithm would cause a catch 22. If the program demonstrating the
algorithm is to run on a computer, then the applicant cannot submit any
program that does not violate one or more of the other 250,000 software
patents already in existence. (250,000 plus or minus, anyway)
That defines the problem, does it not? A programmer cannot program
anything anymore without violating one or more patents.
