What most people don't understand, and I think the source of your concern, is that the action or artifact itself is not what is patented (in most cases, a design patent DOES patent the artifact), but what it's used for.
So, waving isn't patentable, but using a wave in the view of a three dimensional sensing array to control a virtual object probably is. IANAL, but I do have a patent pending, and having been through the gauntlet, understand a bit about it. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah > Sent: Friday, October 28, 2011 2:31 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [funsec] Waving is patentable? > > http://bbc.in/sM8kpG > > > ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) > [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] > The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away > from you. - B.
