ASIC simulation and patentsASIC simulation and patentsPosted Sep 19, 2012 0:48 UTC (Wed) by Max.Hyre (subscriber, #1054)In reply to: Study for US Congress outlines options against patent trolls (The H) by yokem_55 Parent article: Study for US Congress outlines options against patent trolls (The H) I think the HW engineer is (or should be) simply out of luck on that one. I offered elsewhere a way to distinguish SW for purposes of excluding it from patent system, and mentioned that exact case. Simplifying, I think if the object under discussion (not instructions for it, but the object itself) can be sent over a data link, it shouldn't be patentable.
