It shows the failure of software patents!
I have been reading through a lot of claims looping back to previous claims disclosing nothing.
I fully agree with the previous message of mr. Hayes.
To me it was similar to reading a "How to create/change content with your media creation software program" Done long before 2001.
----------------------------
....It's possible that Balthaser may struggle to enforce its patent, because of prior art — the process where a patent is invalid if it can be proven that the innovation in question already existed before the patent was filed....
----------------------------
Isn't it the task of a patent office to check for prior art before granting it, rather than leaving it to a judge to decide afterwards??
This patent, to my humble opinion, isn't even worth the paper written on!
