@dbarefoot @bmann seems a cheap, non-working knockoff wouldn't need to violate the patent. Only a proper clone would, which has social value

@avibryant@bmann Fair enough. I don't really understand enough about the world of patents to make a good case either way. -
@dbarefoot@bmann I don't claim to be an expert either, and clearly there are nuances, but from a branding POV they don't matter much... -
@avibryant@bmann Indeed, though there may be a little reassurance value in "We're serious about this--we filed for patents". -
@dbarefoot "we're not serious about doing good, so we've filed patents" is what it says to me (I understand@avibryant & I likely edge case) -
@bmann@avibryant Yes, I'm afraid almost nobody cares about patents. Also, Happy New Year.
