Patents, copyrights, and to a lesser extent trademarks are all transferrable "rights against the world" and thus have enough of the characteristics of property to be treated as a form of property by the law. The only reason for classing trade secrets as intellectual property is that the same lawyers deal with them as with patents etc. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
