<p>[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 1559864, member: 17502"]There is a narrow speciality in Law, that of patent creation and defense. A lawyer patented the idea of using the tone touchpad on a telephone to signal the call receiving equipment to perform some task. ie; "press 0 to speak to an operator". He did a patent search and didn't find anything so he filed the patent, now his business is suing business that use that type of function. A very profitable business I might add.</p><p><br /></p><p>The lesson is if you have an idea, patent it! Or someone else can.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
