schestowitz"A substance is defined by its chemical composition (small molecule, macrocycle, peptied, DNA molecue, RNA molecule, polymer) either directly or by the eprocess for its manufacture. A composition is a combination of one or more chemical substances. I have no doubt that the hydrogel-forming peptide is clearly a composition, irrespective of its mechanism of action. I'm sure I am not alone in believing this to be the case.<br /><br />&quotFeb 19 01:07
schestowitz;A composition that is an alloy of iron and carbon having structure x with dimensions y&quot; is clearly a device even though it is defined by its molecular composition, because its secondary structure defines shape and not an interaction between the molecules. Contrast this with protein complexes, which are not devices.<br /><br />Lacking the ability to re-use or elimination by the body are artificial definitions that show no understanFeb 19 01:07

Drugs that are eliminated unmetabolised may be re-used in a technical, if not regulatory, sense.  Swallowed cameras are eliminated, but are clearly devices.<br /><br />&quot;The use of a camera capsule to photograph the intestine&quot; is not a method of treatment so the use claim is allowable.  &quot;The use of a peptide forming polymer to treat cancer&quot; is a method of treatment so no use claim is alFeb 19 01:07

schestowitzThat's because the articles are basically latest updates. The details are in the wiki.Feb 19 19:21
schestowitzThere's a LOT of data on the Techrights website. It needs organising. People are working on it.Feb 19 19:21
schestowitzResearch doesn't do itself. If you're researching these problems, TR provides a lot of data (and references) but as with any place that has news, it doesn't always name its sources. When you get it from another article, sources are common-- when the news reports something that wasn't public before, it doesn't always say who told them.Feb 19 19:21
schestowitzTechrights does both. And many of the sources are on the wiki. Many are in the links in the articles. "Feb 19 19:21

schestowitzAgain, I predicted the Red Hat purchase (without insider info) just months prior to it taking place.Feb 19 19:22
schestowitzThe shift from free software developed primarily by communities to developed primarily by corporations, isn't a problem if the communities are not less free. The problem is, while it's not a zero sum game, there are elements of zero sum to it. The communities are losing.Feb 19 19:22
schestowitzWhat it comes down to, is that free software is about independence from monopolies.Feb 19 19:22
schestowitzFor 2 decades, Microsoft has considered FLOSS a viable threat (well documented, internal memos, authenticity proven.)Feb 19 19:22
schestowitzFor 2 decades, Microsoft has considered ways to fight that threat-- they have a plan for every threat they consider viable. That's how they work as a corporation."Feb 19 19:22
