The anti-patent patent

Name: Anonymous 2016-10-24 1:26

Here we describe a novel method for the prevention of the destructive and ultimately harmful practice of patenting of all possible small fragments of software.
The invention requires #1 an instruction set (including all derivative works) covered by the a.p.p and not encumbered by other weaker / less potent anti-patent (if at all) patents.
Hereby all software based/implemented on the a.p.p instruction set shall be free from external patents applying to similar software on different instruction sets (as per the basis of patenting allows), and shall also be free of patents itself.

Ideas in abstract form is not a legitimate form of property right.

Property is basically the fruit of labor. You have to work hard/smart to have enough money to buy a house. In the same way you have to work hard/smart to create some novel software patent.

If you want your idea to be secret, then you should not make the idea public.

One day technology will progress enough (e.g., nanobots) so that the recipes for Coca-Cola and KFC will be discovered and posted online. Coca-Cola and KFC will now have to rely on patents and lawsuits to protect their hard-earned recipes.

However computer programs are already known because of decompilers. They need patents right now.

Also, for you to recommend hiding proprietary IP and also recommend shutting down software patents is a bit of cognitive dissonance.
