    Then give it a design patent. Not a utility patent.

  7. Re:This got a patent on Crowd Funding For Crank Physics · · Score: 1

    Then maybe you need to raise the bar for utility. Allowing monopolies for things like this just encourages patent trolls. Remember this story ? http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/13/01/02/2032212/patent-troll-targeting-users-of-scanners-wants-1000employee

  18. Re:Knee Jerk on Altered Immune Cells Help Girl Beat Leukemia · · Score: 4, Informative

    Exactly and thankyou. It's like amputating the B-cells. Not a risk free procedure, the cytokine storm can kill and then the resultant immune deficiency effects must be managed. But a susceptibility to colds is a lot better than leukemia. The treatment targets all B-cells, whether cancerous or not. We are still not identifying and destroying cancerous cells only. That is when words like "cure" might get to be used.
