How can you have a patent? What would the patent be on? A plan? A scheme?

"Business Method" patents are a relatively new development.......it wasn't always possible to patent something like this.

Had Bonnie and Clyde lived longer, they could have patented their money making venture.

Business method and software patents are an evil development. They do not promote economic progress. All they do is enrich lawyers and patent trolls.

That said, we need to make sure this patent remains worthless by making sure there are never any credits to trade.
