11/08/2005: "Apparently, you can patent just about anything."


This is almost too outrageous to believe: Knight and Associates have published a patent for "Process of relaying a story having a unique plot". That's right, they're trying to patent a movie/story plot. Being only a published application, it hasn't yet been issued (but the way the USPTO is rubber-stamping just about every application, it could easily make it).
