Fifty years from now I expect all wars to be fought by giant robots controlled by teenagers

The Earl of Northesk who has introduced this Bill is a Conservative peer, and so this is not a Government Bill.
For better or worse it is therefore most unlikely to become law, especially so close to the end of the Parliamentary year. Though if the UK Government notice that there is support for it, they could decide to introduce their own Bill next session, I suppose.
Milan is the correct spelling in most (all?) northern Italian dialects. It's therefore the native spelling of the city Italians know as Milano
Interesting theory. Milan is not a spelling I have ever seen in Northern Italy, but you did force me to do some research aka a Google search.
The club was originally the Milan Cricket and Football Club. Unless you can come up with an Italian dialect meaning for cricket, I don't think your theory can be sustained.
No. As a non-football fan I know exactly who AC Milan are. Their president is one Silvio Berlusconi.
What has always seemed weird to me about the club (and their otherwise excellent website doesn't seem to explain it) is that their name uses the English language version of their home city's name. Around the days of big matches it is not unusual to see signs on the autostrade around where the final "o" in "Milano" has been painted out by fans.
The concept of anticipatory plagiarism was invented by Robert Merton (http://www.nobel.se/economics/laureates/1997/), though the French Oulipo movement (http://www.nous.org.uk/oulipo.html) stole the idea and passed it off as their own decades earlier.
According to the article: "Exit Exchange filed a provisional patent application in May 2000...". So if you are right about the USPTO not granting patents for ideas put into practical use for more than 12 months, well you have to try to remember if you've been subjected to popunders for more than 36 months.
