Hi
I don't like idea patents, which are different from process patents,
but if you plan to have the business in the USA and don't have some
patent portfolio you are more or less doom.
Of course, if you have issues with patenting your stuff just see this

If you have issues with strong cryptography exportation you can always
incorporate your business in any of the many british, french or
portuguese off-shore locations.

Hello Lopo,
Thanks for sharing your ideas! I sincerely appreciate your input.
You are more knowledgeable than me concerning all these alternate
means to e-mail. Just to clarify the e-mail solution I mentioned,

Good points, Lopo.
Although I'm not claiming that email is a better solution than what
you suggest, here's how the email process I'm describing could
avoid sniffers.
1. Whether the data file attachment is decomposed (split up) or not,
the file(s) would be encrypted.

On your blog, at [1], you said this:

I'm not saying that patents aren't problematic. I, too, have a problem with
healthcare patents that prevent people from getting the care they need (or
even better care) because the patent-holder puts unreasonable
