I can't wait to play Elden Ring 2 when it's made by Nintendo because Elden Ring used summoning and now only runs at 12 fps.

The US patent system IS a colossal failure, of course it spits out failures
I'm going to patent electrons passing through a xor gate
You can probably get away with it if you write it in a confusing enough fashion; but you need to make it really confusing - to the point even CPU architecture experts could miss it unless they pay very close attention; and remember that the claims - which are the only part of the patent that has any legal meaning - may be limited by law to a single sentence each, but there is no limit on how cumbersome each sentence is; additionally, semicolons are not sentence terminators; this means that this entire comment I just wrote is technically a only one sentence.
Prior art exists of that though so you wouldn't be able to. I know you're making a joke though lol.
If Nintendo can patent MOUNTS in the year of our lord 2025, that lemming can patent logic gates.
I thought this was about the ball throwing to capture monsters
Capcom should start their patent for 2D fighting games and see what happens to Super Smash Bros
The USPTO is notorious for granting insane patents knowing they are invalid or too vague and expect the court system to be the final arbiter. It’s almost as if they like stirring shit up for there own amusement.
Someone in the patent office got bribed.
I'm fully stopped. Now what?
death to intellectual property
*for digital content
nah, death to all intellectual property. it’s not better when it’s physical. in fact, in some cases, it’s much much worse; like with medicine patents
Patents are not intellectual property and they are regulated by the patent office. Intellectual property is not regulated and cannot be blanket dismissed.
We just need someone competent on patent offices
How are patents not intellectual property?
“They have been an embarrassing failure of the US
patent system.“ seems like a trend these days
