Patents
Doesn't matter if you can or do file a patent. A patent is nothing but a license to sue. If you think someone has stolen your patented idea, you take them to court. The patent gives your case credibility. However judges and jurors can come up with strange verdicts.
You go to court with a lawyer from the Mount Airy School of Law he could be steamrollered by a lawyer who went to an actual law school.
You can get a patent for almost anything. A friend & I were laughing at a patent granted for a guy who put a hologram sticker on a t-shirt. Stickers on t-shirts had already been done and so had hologram stickers. The patent was granted because the USPTO didn't know several companies had already done it.
