Let me preface this with the fact that I'm an intellectual property specialist. I bill $450/hour, and still have lots of time to work on my startup without having to take venture capital.
I thought about some educational answers for your questions, but the insult at the start of your comment rubs me wrong and I decided I don't owe you anything. So, I'll save them.
The first symptom of a new but incomplete understanding of patents is gold fever. That is when you have an idea that what you are holding is extremely valuable and that you must protect it from others at all costs. People tend to get irrational about it.
So here is some reality: The fact that you have even published your video (which is "use in commerce" under patent law) invalidates future patents that you might file on that same art. Then there is the prior art (including art you are not aware of), and the recent court finding in Alice v. CLS Bank that invalidates most process and method patents which describe software. These all work against the potential that your thesis is going to make you rich through patent licensing.
You can get a patent awarded, perhaps, that you can use to hoodwink an investor, but forcing an automotive company to pay you? Much less likely and it will cost $10 Million in attorney fees to get there.
Probably your school wants 51% of the revenue and your grant funding sources (and those of your college department) may have their own policies on patents.
It's their search engine. Start your own search engine and you will get to decide what's in it.
Blackjack and hookers, duh.
and for the rest of you flamers and trolls, this is a Q&A thread not a thread to personally attack another person. Take the insults elsewhere.
Looks like Chris Crocker has someone new to white knight for.
Don't be jealous, APK. I'm sure someday you'll find a woman willing to spend a few minutes with you. She may not technically be alive, or human, but she'll be all yours.
Didn't you read the bulletin? Little boys are always attacking the girls they secretly like. Obviously APK thinks it gives him an aura of boyish charm.
But not to worry - his personality is sufficient to turn off anything with a pulse.
That would certainly explain some of his fixations.
Don't forget, Soviet Russian was the first to send a manned mission outside our solar system.
It was a one-way flight by mistake; the guy screamed until he ran out of air, but, hey, it's gotta count for something.
I can't find reference to this. Link?
Smart woman your ex-wife ditching a miserable loser like you that dragged her down.

I wasn't speaking to the specific case because of the guilty plea.
FWIW, I read somewhere (MRA site?) that woman-woman violence is particularly bad and particularly underreported.
And I don't know how to fix things either. You slap the hands of people making false claims, and legitimate victims clam up. You do nothing, and you encourage people like my ex wife.
Boy, talk about stupid assumptions...
Getting rape prosecuted has long provided its own set of deeply frustrating difficulties, from belligerent questioning of accusers to blatant refusal to investigate claims.
Let's not forget the not insignificant problem of false claims. Are there as many as the MRA's claim? Doubtful. Are there as few as the feminists claim? Not a chance.
If what you say was true, we would already be doing it.

Done.
Shit, I thought this post was serious, until I saw who signed it.
A giant factor that you didn't expand on much is weight. That minimal weight goes a long way towards those times.
