Large System = “miraculous unproven device” + Subsystem1 + SubSystem2 ?= PATENT? George is correct. Enablement, the principle George described, seems to be something that comes out primarily in litigation, and not in procuring the patent. If I were an inventor facing such a patent, I would consult with a patent litigator to gauge the likelihood that a successful suit could be brought. If there are serious enablement issues, the patent shouldn't give the patentee much leverage. |

How to patent an idea for computer software? added 47 characters in body |

How to patent an idea for computer software? That's not exactly correct. I don't need a way to make an invention in order to patent it; I only have to describe it in a way that enables someone of ordinary skill in the art to make and use it. We may be using different definitions of "idea." If "idea" means bare functionality, then you are correct. I may have an "idea" for a perpetual motion machine, but I can't patent it because I can't enable it. However, if I have an idea for a jet aircraft which I have no ability to make myself, but I know how to describe it in a way that allows someone else to make it, it's patentable. |

What is the USPTO attitude toward mouth rinse patents, particularly given many seem to overlap? the '255 patent from 1991 covers a toothpaste or gel with 10-20% xylitol and some ion-providing fluoride compound, and free of astringint zinc salts. The '044 publication covers using xylitol and water-soluble calcium salt in a 1:10 ratio. My understanding is that those are different chemical compositions, though I'm not sure how different. Does that seem like a significant difference to you? |
