| May 10 at 16:14 | comment | added | Bear Bile Farming is Torture | @bhuff36 for example, a recently granted patent for match limits on dating apps: US-11895115-B2. If this invention can be patented, then I am positive that what I have can be patented. | |
| May 10 at 16:08 | comment | added | Bear Bile Farming is Torture | @bhuff36 Let's take Tinder's swipe patent as a benchmark. It is more sophisticated than that. And I have read recent patents granted to new features of dating apps. What I have is more sophisticated than all of those. | |
| May 10 at 9:19 | comment | added | bhuff36 | Do you have any technical content in this software invention? I.e., is it more than a list of requirements/goals that the person of ordinary skill can readily implement on a computer once given? If not, I don't mean to be negative, but it's a fact that such patents are hard to obtain, harder to enforce, and generally not deserving of protection in the eyes of many. Though I'm sure as purely a business proposition it can still be profitable to file - payouts for patent lawsuits can be so large that the chances of winning can be decimal percentages and it is still worth it. | |
