schestowitz[TR2]What actually happens in a lot of situations is even more depressing. Somebody will invent something, then the employing company (IBM or other, doesn't matter) will impound the IP (intellectual property) and NOT do anything with it. They won't build or market the invention for whatever reason, but they'll act as patent trolls against anyone else (including the actual inventor) who might try to make something of their invention.Jul 13 02:33
schestowitz[TR2]The IBM of today is not the IBM of 50, 40, 30, 20 or even 10 years ago. They have dispensed with much of their manufacturing abilities, including the staff who could get things done. The executive management consists largely of finance and legal types. There are no Steve Jobs or Bill Gates types hanging around who could recognize something great (or even something GOOD) and do something with it, so the advice in previous comments iJul 13 02:33

schestowitz[TR2]If you have a truly great idea, do NOT tell anyone else, and develop it in your spare time. If/when you are convinced it actually works, quit, and pursue it. But make sure there is no trace of it happening while employed by IBM otherwise they can (rightfully) claim it as theirs.Jul 13 02:33

schestowitz[TR2]Kyndryl was IBM’s response to labor being commoditized. GTS was charging enterprise rates on their offerings when the marketplace was moving to commodity parts and as such commodity rates. With Kyndryl’s spinoff, IBM bisected their GTS offerings from their GBS offerings thus allowing the enterprise side of IBM’s house to move forward, while allowing the commodity side of IBM’s house to restructure to an offshore/commodity pJul 13 02:36

schestowitz[TR2]"The comment by D X Thomas that in the UK prior to 1978 the notion of inventive step was unknown in the UK needs feedback.<br /><br />Whether or not the notion of &quot;inventive step&quot; was known, the notion of obviousness certainly was, as Anonymous has helpfully explained. What DXT might have had in mind is that the duties of a UK Patent Office person, examining for patentability back then, ex parte, prior to grant, did not iJul 13 21:42
schestowitz[TR2]nclude an enquiry into obviousness. Back then, it was thought that the only meaningful enquiry into obviousness was one conducted inter Partes, so that the decision-maker could do it with the benefit of having received &quot;both sides&quot; of the obviousness debate. An Applicant &quot;deserved their day in court&quot; it was thought, rather than losing their pending patent monopoly application to a negative subjective opinion of Jul 13 21:42
schestowitz[TR2]a mere Patent Office Examiner. So, novel but obvious subject matter got through to grant (unless somebody chose to delay grant by filing filing a pre-grant opposition fully loaded with evidence and argument of obviousness).<br /><br />What a ,long way we have come, since then, on the notion of what is a patentably inventive step."Jul 13 21:42
