Agh!

So sorry I’ve been out. Plenty of life has happened, to include the AC dying out just before the Florida heat! Living in 80F/26C humidity isn’t easy!

Summer is among us— anyone doing anything fun? Personally, cooking and journaling is some of the few things I’m trying! It really helps!

Got a password-locking touchscreen phone? You may be using Apple’s patent to enter in your password every time.

Strangely, the only one who upkeeps this patent is the US— though 8 different countries total have retained it in 2006.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

It may well have got the head fired, but the US copyright office's (pre-publication) report on AI and fair use is extremely helpful in explaining the key issues for a non- lawyer like me:

“Copyright isn’t political, it’s merely the protection of IP rights for companies.”

yeah right.

This patent’s diagrams is hilarious. I don’t know why? Whoever did these really liked to draw.

Regardless, yes, this is somehow still about DRM.

Ever wonder how far DRM software has come and how it’s implemented?

Some of you may know Denuvo if you play a few video games, which is one of many DRMs- but patents go back to the mid 90s, in cable boxes!

DRM at this time was more known for music, though.

Ever wonder how Capcom is staying afloat? Well, there’s patents like these that make you realize how.

It also made me see that “blockchain” is just yet another buzzword to put fear in people, it’s not *just* cryptocurrency related. #capcom #patents #videogames
