Hi,
[referring to page 4 of www.iploft.com/KC-Proteo.pdf]
'Software patents for structure prediction or 3-D visualization tools
are similar to computer software patents.'
What on earth is this???
I would imagine that this is some form of protection to the likes of 3D
Max and SoftImage.
Could you elaborate a bit on this, please.
What is so special above 3D software?
IMHO, if anything 3D software are a continuum of 'software' as much as
structure prediction software. Software patents would apply with equal
force.
Regards,
Ramanan
