I'd like to know that too. Should a novel/movie concept be patentable? A
social engineering concept? A concept like twelve tone music? If not, how
do you justify the "discrimination"?
I'm also still waiting for your answer as to whether Jim Bessen's reply to

off the list of subscribers and didn't get responses in private, I have to
ask in this forum.
