Hello, I have just read a article on patent in a linux periodical. In USA, is it possible to take out a patent for a software or an idea ? if a mere idea can be patented, then companies can patent all the unimaginable ideas and wait until have been developped by anyone else to have a operating monopoly or to cash rights. Is that true ? What are organizations which grant patent ? thank you for your help. ANTONINO Christian.
