It's so obvious I'm sure its been done, but why not file a patent on the "process of using human rational and irrational thought, including but not limited to spontaneous notions and developed theories, to create, improve, devise, or otherwise develop goods and services"? If Amazon can patent "one-click" shopping, why can't I patent the use of thought in the process of creation? Prior art isn't a valid defense since people don't actually plan on implementing thought, they just do it.
Having this patent wouldn't grant me ownership of all the works derived from the process of using thought, but it would tender a pretty penny in licensing fees, even at minimal (and mandatory!) levels. w00t!
Got comments?
