Last year Bill Gates got a patent on the protection of concepts. Thus, you now can't apply for a patent without purchasing a license from M$.

I watched it and am glad to see some basic information is being presented in a clear manner directly from the USPTO. I am glad that in the audio presentation, the idea of "mailing your invention to yourself" is discouraged and a common and legally defensible method is stated. That method of establishing invention date is a properly executed notebook.

The patent system is complex so having some basic knowledge directly from the USPTO (United States Patent And Trademark Office) as a road-map will help inventors. By having in mind some general knowledge we are better equipped to make correct decisions ahead of time that may keep us out of litigation later.

The concept is too well-protected. I can not view it with my computer...
