Re: O/T: Patenting a computational scheme?

Can a *scheme* for computing something be granted Intellectual Property
protection? [and related questions]

Point 1. This is a legal question.
Point 2. This is a legal question.

Yes, I know that was point 1, but it is also point 2. Usenet is not a
good place to get legal advice - not in any newsgroup.

I quite agree.

In this particular case, you need to talk to a competent patent attorney
first. Yes, that's a different kind of person than a lawyer. Afterwards,
you will likely want to a lawyer specialising in IPR also.

Of course, finding a good lawyer isn't simple either.

Indeed. I think it's one of the most difficult things to do.
