Why was the #beyblade (1999-present) #patent filed in 2015?? Not happy that I have to care about patents in my silly #3dprint #toydesign hobby

patents.google.com/patent/US10

patents.google.comUS10500511B2 - Spinning top toy - Google Patents A spinning top toy including a body and a separate shaft portion. The body has a first hook and the shaft portion has a second hook. The body and the shaft portion are switchable between couplable and decouplable states depending on a relative rotational position. The first hook and the second hook are vertically aligned in the couplable state, and are vertically misaligned in the decouplable state. An urging unit brings an upper face of the first hook and a bottom face of the second hook into contact by an urging force of a spring in the couplable state. The body and the shaft portion enter the couplable state by turning and pushing. The body and the shaft portion engage each other by bringing the upper face of the first hook into contact with the bottom face of the second hook by the urging force of the spring.

'In Dei Gratia Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Patents [2024] FCA 1145 (Dei Gratia), the Federal Court of Australia dismissed an appeal by Dei Gratia and confirmed the decision of the Commissioner of Patents to refuse the patent application for ‘last mile logistics’. The claimed invention purported to facilitate the delivery of goods from the last point in a distribution chain to end consumers. By selecting a preferred local outlet, customers would be able to overcome delivery issues such as the need to be at home at a specific time and the protection of perishable goods that have been left at doors in high temperatures.

The decision shed light on the difference between an invention that aims to advance computer technologies and new business and logistic methods. To be patentable, the invention must be a “manner of new manufacture.” In other words, it “must be more than an abstract idea; it must involve the creation of an artificial state of affairs where the computer is integral to the invention, rather than a mere tool in which the invention is performed.”' iplawwatch.com/2025/03/31/last #patent #businessmethods #auslaw Decision: Dei Gratia Pty Ltd v Commissioner of Patents [2024] FCA 1145 (1 October 2024) austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdoc

another crazy idea I thought I'd #asknostr about:

Watched this video recently. A short discussion on the differences between the #GPL and the #BSD #software #license, and how the latter allows anyone to modify BSD code but are then not required to open source those modifications.

I love what #opensource gives to the world and to me and my #privacy and #security , personally. But, I do understand where businesses stand on the issue, as they are in the business of being in #business and that means making #money by outperforming their competitors.

So, my question/idea is, could there be an amalgamation of those two license philosophies, facilitated by a public #decentralized #blockchain, that would act similarly to US #patent laws in the sense that you could commit your source code to a public repository encrypted. In the block noting your submission or project is included a decryption key locked in a contract that publicizes the key after a specific time period.

I feel that, in this day and age's rapid pace, a year or two years to market ahead of your competitors would be enough to give a #firstmover advantage, secure market share, and recoup investment, as well as a two year headstart on the next set of innovations.

That would give companies the market edge they paid for and give the world and thereby open source community of projects the continued benefit of open, readable, and reusable source code, albeit delayed in access.

It would also give non-evil companies the ability to create and affirm their reputation of not doing shady shit in the the shadows and would give us all more confidence to uses their temporarily closed source software as they have established some trust with the world.

Do you know of anything like this in the world today? I've not heard of this idea before but would not be shocked that someone else has thought of it already.

Do you think this could be made to work?

Any thoughts?

German court rules Pfizer, BioNTech violated Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine patent reuters.com/business/healthcar
'In a statement, the court in the city of Duesseldorf said that Pfizer and BioNTech would have to provide information on earnings derived from the use of the patent and that they owe Moderna appropriate compensation, though the ruling can still be appealed to a higher court.

The court added that Pfizer and BioNTech had argued they were authorised by a press release from Moderna to use the technology behind the patent until the World Health Organization declared in May 2023 that COVID-19 was no longer a global health emergency.'
