Now here's a question that should bring this thread back on-topic. How patentable are security tools? Lets say, for example, that I got a patent on fuzzers - i.e. a patent on the process of generating random input for a program. Could it be that I could restrict the availability and use of these tools? That'd be pretty worrying from a security perspective, no? -- Rohit Patnaik On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 11:31 PM, M.B.Jr. <marcio.barbado () gmail com> wrote:
Hello. Patent Absurdity explores the case of software patents and the history of judicial activism that led to their rise, and the harm being done to software developers and the wider economy. The film is based on a series of interviews conducted during the Supreme Court's review of in re Bilski — a case that could have profound implications for the patenting of software. http://patentabsurdity.com/watch.html Regards, Marcio Barbado, Jr. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
