Re: O/T: Patenting a computational scheme?

Lawyer logic is a very fuzzy and context dependent logic.

Actually, it is different enough a process that even calling it by the name "logic" is
deceptive (albeit unintentionally) to anyone with a mathematical, scientific or engineering
background. What is done in law has its rules and precepts, but they do not fit together
in a form that universally conforms to "logic". I've learned a little about IP law in
self-defense (and to be able to interface more effectively with lawyers) and I strongly
suggest you do not even think about it using the same terminology.

Perhaps this is another place to invoke "Threepwood". ;-)
