Hello music-dsp list
Not my intention to post anything slanderous but any idea why someone would want to go
ahead and patent essentially what an open-source FFT library contains?...
My guess is that the area appeals to such person for some reason or another, and that they
figure somehow even a strangely formulated "optimization" while maybe changing a few
parameters in a coherent way might be profitable or give them a more solid name. I don't
think turning a spectrogram into a JPG image would be enough to patent, but if you get a
bit quasi creative with some of the frequency weighing and time domain signal
considerations and present it in some way that appeals to patent office employees, why not ?
Some people are born with an incredible desire to be patent owner or chip designer or
professor and just won't be happy being a good engineer or scientist, so everything that
counts may help them!
