That actually came up in litigation over the patent for the shaving cream can. The challenger claimed that it was too obvious, and not patentable. The judge ruled to the effect of, “It was only obvious *after* you saw it. That you spent $7M in your own unsuccessful attempt to make such a thing shows that it is not obvious!” _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
