>>>>This guy should have filed a patent for the process. He is out Multi-Million$ thanks to yapping about it.

He is admitting that the Romans knew about it, so it was previously known. You can't patent something that was previously known.

Now, if he advances from here and finds a new way to use this old technology, he may be able to patent that, and that would be the valuable part anyway.

Neither he, nor I, nor you, KNOW what the Roman's process WAS. It is lost to the ages.

Thsi guy developed HIS invented process to make the same dye. It involved a presumed different mollusk, and whatever other processes he invented without foreknowledge of a prior process. The original process is nowhere to be found.

He would therefore get the patent and would own the process that he created, developed, and outlined.

I know a little about patents, I have some, and many more in pre-grant publication at this moment.

So why is your name "patent"?
