Could I patent basic problem solving skills and then sue someone who uses them to solve problems? Where will this madness end?
I want to patent the process of using analogies to teach others. Everyone everywhere must cease thinking because they are infringing on my discoveries.
That's neither a machine or a method of doing business, so it's not patentable. It doesn't help the argument to pretend the patent system is even broader than it is. This patent isn't on "SEO for press releases", it's for a machine which performs a process including an expert system which evaluates rules to provide keyword suggestions... etc. Unless your machine works the same it doesn't infringe. The idea is not what's protected.
