Re: Major Intellectual Property Rulings by SCOTUS (none / 0)

Thanks for this...and especially for all the resources you provide. Does this mean that the internet can't be patented??

Re: Major Intellectual Property Rulings by SCOTUS (none / 1)

The internet, like everything under the sun, is already patented.

Patent statistics:

http://www.uspto.gov/go/taf/us_stat.htm

So about 3 millions live patents in the USA in 2006. Each patent use convoluted language over several pages.

If you want to do business in the USA, you have to make sure you don't infringe any of these patents. Not one of them.

And business complain about state regulations?

Total state regulation is peanuts against patents.
