After reading the decision of the patent examiner, my impression is that the patent was rejected for good reason. The rejection argument is not that the theory is wrong but that Mills is trying to patent a theory and its application to calculating electron states. This would be like having a

Reading Ed and Mike's comments makes me wonder why in the world BLP would attempt to patent a theoretical process involving the calculation of electron states via software simulations. Is this latest battle related to Randy's Millsian Molecular Modeling endeavors, or is this a follow-up to recent
