So what you're saying is ways to improve business, the assembly line pioneered by Henry Ford for automobiles should be patentable?

While it was an amazing idea, and helped bring automobiles into the grasp of the average man, doesn't mean it should be exclusive to that company. A company discovers a new model that works, what should prohibit another company from taking up that model instead of going under? Bookstore than failing can't sell their books online because Amazon patented the 'innovation' of selling books online? Sorry, I thought capitalism was supposed to spur innovation not suffocate it.
