How general can an idea be before it is no longer original? Where is the line between what is patentable and non-patentable? There is a deep gray mist that is being explored more and more by the new scope of digital technology. When a company is reserved a human natural gesture as their own intellectual property it has gone a bit too far. Ideally we should be able to determine that the act of breathing is a common idea. Too bad, because I was really hoping to profit from that.

Maybe you should trying patenting breathing under the name "Oxygen intake using large respiratory actions" or something like that. Maybe you could get it.
ReplyDeleteBut on a more serious note, I like what you said. I personally think things become common pretty quick and should really be protected for very long.
