    You’ve not even remotely began to asses novelty properly but kudos for trying.

      All the claims except 8 are “obvious” IMO. Claim 8 fails novelty because of the huge amount of prior art on the matter.

      Note that I’m using “novelty” and “obvious” according to their english definitions, and the intent of patent protection. If they’re different in practice, that’s a failing of current patent law.

      For reference, here’s what I would consider to be a “good” software patent: https://patents.justia.com/patent/6721362

        They also test for obviousness mate.

        If you think you can do better than a patent office examiner get on it because they’re extremely well paid.

        Or maybe you could stop and draw a line under what you think is correct. Have you ever considered the possibility that actually you haven’t got the first clue how to properly analyse a patent because it’s a profession that requires extensive training and eye to detail?

        I know on the internet it’s fun to pretend you actually know everything because everything is a Google search away but to even properly contextualise and separate good patents and bad patents isn’t a skill you can just pick up in 5 minutes to win an argument.
