I’m currently taking CPSC 430 and one of the requirements is to keep a journal throughout the term. I will be blogging here my class notes, thoughts, and links as they come up that are relevant to the course material. Also, see the other posts in the CPSC 430 category. Class notes Patents iPhone (Apple) – e.g. ,“movement-based interface” e.g., sealed crust-less sandwich e.g., online shopping cart – “One Click” – Apple licenses from Amazon leaning shoes Bilski – business model patent (fixed-price energy contract) No machines/systems, just method Weakened patenting process Really need a lawyer to understand claims
