However, this judge appears to believe that sweat of the brow = patent.
ยง101 says you can patent a novel and useful invention. It says nothing about the
sweat of the brow being patentable.

People can be very easily fooled by pretty pictures.
It seems that at least one judge was so completely fooled by the pretty
pictures, that she clean forgot what she should have been paying attention to.
Which is precisely what the American system of non-education is designed to
achieve --- pretty pictures are always true, regardless of objective facts,
objective reality, scientific laws, laws of nature, and laws passed by
governments.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

> nobody should get a patent for a driver-less
> motorized vehicle, regardless of the effort they
> spend developing one
If a driverless vehicle is not patentable then a better mousetrap is not
patentable - both are hardware.
What should not be patentable is (a) the *concept* of a driverless vehicle and
(b) any algorithmic basis for handling the vehicle.

If effort = invention, then every coal miner in the country is entitled to a
patent for the coal he dug.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
