Please some can someone with good knowledge of proxies and etc post it one 4Chan or Posterous or similar site and then post it as Question on http://metaoptimize.com/qa/

Which will get the word out to practitioners in this field ! I currently cant do that since i am on a *.edu ip


cant we just copy it and post it on a shady website such as 4chan or something. And then use site like Metaoptimizee.com/qa/ which is a machine learning Q&A website to publicize it!


dude that guy is surely bullshitting Description of an invention is actually the purpose of the patent! Patent is there to allow other to get knowledge about your invention while protecting your "Commercial" interests!


Create a Fake Email address and post it on a Posterous blog. And then we will take care that it is found out for perpetuity! Also we can try to destroy his page rank by making reference to his name!


Any way you are currently on second page of Google Search! Better Post it on a .in Indian Web Address Patent laws in india do not allow software patents + no one gives a shit about C&D!


WTF Just write at end your implementation:

License: Research Purpose Only

Any patented invention can be used for research pupose!

To quote from wikipedia: A patent being an exclusionary right does not, however, necessarily give the owner of the patent the right to exploit the patent.[13] For example, many inventions are improvements of prior inventions that may still be covered by someone else's patent.[13] If an inventor takes an existing, patented mouse trap design, adds a new feature to make an improved mouse trap, and obtains a patent on the improvement, he or she can only legally build his or her improved mouse trap with permission from the patent holder of the original mouse trap, assuming the original patent is still in force. On the other hand, the owner of the improved mouse trap can exclude the original patent owner from using the improvement.

Add few new features


> Add few new features

Or devise some novel features that would allow this marvelous invention to interoperate with existing software!

Then patent the combination and fuck them with it. >:D


>Any patented invention can be used for research pupose!

This is a grey area under the EPC - research is allowed but commercial use is not.

Consider: If the invention is a measuring device used in a particular area of research then that doesn't mean you can rip off the invention and claim it is for research purposes.

Generally I'd say if you built the invention just so you can use it then that's commercial.


this statement proved Gruber is an Complete Idiot of first order if he even cites 503 to be sales number.

+ ppl who comment without pointing this out are complete idiots as well


Use Python + Django hosted on Google App engine It will remove all your worries of paying any thing unless you get million hits per month!


I concur. Also you will be disciplined into writing scalable code and will not have to deal with operating system issues, setting up servers, configuring db's etc., so you can focus on programming.

(If you want an invite to Fosdev for trying out GAE quickly, let me know.)
