Nope: In order to get a patent, you have to be the inventor. Copying someone elses patented invention isn't the same as inventing. 102, sections E,F and so on. Flipping a few words around in a paragraph or substituting a 'however' for a 'but', doesn't circumvent copyright either. The concept is the same. Why am I having this argument? Whether you ideologically buy into the concept of patents and copyrights or not, The law isn't ambivalent on this. Under the spirit of contemporary law, this is theft. Pure and simple. Google patent theft. All kinda of interesting stuff concerning drugs and medications. _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
