Comment IM SO SICK OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING (Score 1) 177
All of you tech clowns say the same thing. Oh its not obvious, oh its so easy. You are all using HINDSIGHT to do this. Of couse it is obvious, once you see how to do it. But YOU didnt come up with it yourself. THATS why the OTHER person gets the patent And another thing, how does everyone know about this patent if it has not been issued? Stop your bitching and start inventing. Think about it: 1. The invention must be NOVEL. (35 USC Sec. 102) Has anyone actually done this before? Not. Oh, I saw that once in X-windows (thats not the same thing) It doesnt seem so. 2. The invention must be USEFUL. (35 USC Sec. 101) Anything is useful. It doesnt have to be useful to you. but useful to SOMEONE 3. The invention must be NONOBVIOUS (35 USC Sec. 103) This means THAT: it would not HAVE BEEN obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art. Notice the HAVE BEEN. That means, at the time the patent was filed. not using YOUR HINDSIGHT. SO,if there is a reference that discloses this, then produce it. Otherwise, you are using your own hidnsight to make flighty comments. GEEZ!
