2 days agoI’m not sure if this is a joke, but patents are very much (supposed to be) required to be innovative, as in if there’s any “prior art” (i.e. anything evidence of it already existing either in another patent or just publicly) then you can’t patent it




The fact that we even call them PCs is mainly down to the IBM PC (they didn’t invent the term but I think they popularised it)
