Storyline and fashion patents
Revision as of 16:13, 24 January 2010 by Ciaran (talk | contribs) (moved Storyline patents to Storyline and fashion patents: ...wasn't sure where to put links about fashion being innovative without patents)
Stories, storylines, and literatture are examples of fields where ideas cannot be patented.
However, the USPTO has agreed to review one such patent.
(to check: See Ben D. Manevitz "What's the Story with Storyline Patents - An Argument Against the Allowance of Proposed Storyline Patents and for the Rejection of Currently Pending Storyline Patent Applications" (2006) 24 Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal 717.)
