Re: Waving is patentable?

["Tomas L. Byrnes" <tomb () byrneit net>]

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.
