[AccessD] Database Patent

Cool.  We all need to manage our time better.  ;-)

This forum can help with that, or... It can hinder it immensely.

I was just kidding, like I wonder if I could get a patent on the wheel, like
the patent that started this thread and should not have been granted ...

My patent actually has to do with time management, scheduling soft dates
with hard dates, and that sort of thing, and just uses a database for a
platform.

LOL.  Patents are only useful if someone wants to buy or license it.
You
may rest assured that if you have applied for a patent on anything that is
remotely similar to anything in existence, you will be up to your ears in
litigation.  Microsoft owns entire rooms full of patents, entire filing
cabinets full on database concepts I am sure, as do IBM, Oracle and a ton of
other companies.  

Of course you already know a patent lawyer - oh, you ARE a patent lawyer.

Anyway, good luck on that.

Hah!  You all just wait until I get a patent on an electronic computerized
database (ever heard of one of those?), and see who gets the last laugh.

ROTFL  In that case, how fortunate that we have a patent attorney in the
asylum!
