IBM Seeks Patent on Software that Incorporates Human Emotion

ByBizMan

IBM Seeks Patent on Software that Incorporates Human Emotion – IPWatchdog.com | Patents & Patent Law:

IBM patents emotions. How does that make your feel? Sad? Mad? Glad?

Well, let’s not get emotional about this.

But it seems that our friends at IBM, the patent King, has a rather cleaver line on patents. IBM is making efforts to emulate the types of things done by the human emotions. Multiple channels, multiple inputs.

One would assume the same illogical and irrational things that make humans so unique and yet so imperfect. Right.

Steve Brachmann does a nice job of tying in other patent technologies related to communications and information processing that are in the same space.

I like the comment: “It looks like more than a full time job for IBM just keeping track of who is potentially infringing their patents.”

True that. But having 10 patents issued per day give IBM a whole lot of leeway if someone comes after IBM.

    BySustainMe

    Don’t Confuse Sustainability with CSR | Ivey Business Journal: Definition of sustainability — essentially not imposing additional costs on the future — is quite different from Corporate Social Responsibility, which looks at balancing the needs of all current constituents. This is a very cool article that addresses the key issues that differentiate sustainability from CSR.
