I'd rather they be done away with

Lawyers in general are terrible. My brother in law is a judge and whatever he tells me from work its all bullshit

I've seen people successfully patent trivial maths shit (think formulae) as "technologies", shit that had been invented centuries before by the likes of Gauss and Euler

WTF!

btw why cant you talk about it? patent not even pending yet?

yes

also, I would prefer not to be doxxed

This bad on this server?

zgadnij, do you have any experience in patent proceedings in fatherland

I've been working on something for the past year, but I had so many people tell me it's unpatentable that I almost lost faith

and honestly the only reason I was looking into patents was internal uni evaluation

patentable depends very much on what patents alread exist. Some companies kind of own blanket patents for whole topics of stuff

nope, I've never had anything to do with patenting stuff apart from these 2 entries now (well, recently) that are not even pending yet

Fuck

and frankly speaking, patent law is very high on my list of concepts and things I'd prefer to continue not giving a fuck about

I could basically reuse all the grant stuff I had for the description, including the diagrams, but honestly I don't want to waste 500zł for the

you know

fees

what _are_ you trying to patent

lel, fair enough

a vestibular rehabilitation solution

nothing too fancy

if it's a piece of technology you may well be able to patent it

mostly software based

if you can phrase it in such a way as to "sell" it as a technology, knock yourself out

bullshittery

provided that no one else has already patented it

I am fluent in bullshitery

are you lawyer-tier fluent?

No

well then

eh, maybe it's worth a try

that is it in essence, formulate it that it is a technology description that doesnt collide with an existing patent. Only the text really matters for them

the laws regarding higher education are changing, misnistry is pushing for more in depth eval and the first thing we do is we try to cheat the system with shitpatents

Science in Poland is beyond saving

~~Science in ~~Poland is beyond saving

>This bad on this server?
nope its just zgadnij

Is that why I met some many polish dudes in german research? 😄

@Luckbot first of all how dare you personally call me out like that

😢
