    (A) reliable;
    (B) renewable;

    I think patents should be about protecting specific ways of doing something. For example, you should be able to patent a "fork" but not "using a tool to get food to your mouth".



    It's a matter of inovativeness. I should be able to patent, say, transmission of text data within a TV signal, but not using said data to, say, transmit tv listings for that channel.



    This patent is roughly equivalant to patenting transmission of medical imagery over the internet.
