Another chipmaker being sued for patent infringement. Can you imagine if the same thing happened whenever components were used in a product? such as a patent troll exclaiming: "oi!, that thing uses a plug to interface with the mains so we're pulling it.  ".(Linkage) |

Does anyone know if the pixel has a patent?, someone might lay claim to that and reckoning they invented the eyeball or something.

Let's just hope nobody decides to patent coding, the route to all that is coder.

Damn, I wonder if anyone's thought of patenting names. I think I should figure out the most popular names in Britain, the US, and mainland Europe and patent them! I'd be filthy rich, muhahaha! -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

(Un?)fortunately, you can't do that due to prior-art; you can't patent something after it's been publicly released/disclosed.

I'd like to patent the goto statement just to prevent people from using it.

An inventor goes to the patent office, sees the patent officer and says, "I've got an invention; it's a folding bottle. I call it a fottle, get it? - folding bottle - fottle." "Very nice, sir," the patent officer says. "Do you have any other inventions?" "Yes, I do. I also have a folding carton; I call it a farton," replies the inventor. "I'm sorry, sir," the officer says, "but that is an inappropriate name; it's disgusting." "Oh," groans the inventor, "then I guess you wouldn't be interested in my folding bucket." *Dabz gets his coat* Dabz -=-=- Intel Core i5 6400 2.7GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB), 8Gig DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 64bit
