granting of patents for obvious solutions to non-obvious problemsgranting of patents for obvious solutions to non-obvious problemsPosted Nov 5, 2009 19:02 UTC (Thu) by dark (✭ supporter ✭, #8483)In reply to: granting of patents for obvious solutions to non-obvious problems by pjm Parent article: Courgette meets a dangerous (Red) Bend The original argument for the patent system is that it promotes publication. Solutions are made public rather than kept as trade secrets. Obviously, obvious solutions to non-obvious problems don't need this mechanism at all, since it will not be possible to keep the solution secret once the problem is known.
