Episode 220: Patently Absurd 1:19:55

10M ago1:19:55

1:19:55

Listening to a podcast? What a great idea! But could you take that idea, patent it, and then charge others for the right to do the same? That's the question at the heart of today's discussion – patent law. It's more interesting than it sounds, maybe! Plus we've got mice, we've got birds, we've got pissing contests, and we've got a Recommendation En…
