the news is a few weeks old but ….
[bgr.com] I do not intend on paying Amazon a single dime and I'm not going to stop filming on white. This is way past ridiculous. Can anyone come up with a harsher way of saying stupid? Look at the diagram its an quickly/novice setup also. """ What you do with what you have, is more important than what you could do, with what you don't have." > > > Knowledge + Action = Wisdom - J.

Golly, didn't I do that the other day when I photographed a lens to sell on eBay? Maybe Amazon filed the patent as a joke to expose the extreme incompetence of the USPTO. USPTO examiners live in a world of patents. Searching those they found no "prior art" because, of course, no one had ever dared to patent such an obvious photographic technique. It'd require checking out old textbooks on commercial (product) photography to find published disclosures of the method. Could Amazon intend to enforce the patent? The USPTO issues myriad bad patents and pawns off the mess to the courts for ajudication. There, the patent disputes are decided by juries of non-experts. Accordingly, the attorneys for patent trials are showmen who also don't understand the "inventions". Amazon can therefore enforce this patent against small fry infringers. But it would gain little but popular resentment from this. A large infringer, on the other hand, could decisively invalidate the patent in court. The patent is very simple, a day's work, and is probably a joke. I filed one US patent as a joke, and can attest that it's great fun. Dennis Couzin Berlin, Germany
Yeah. I think I am gonna file a patent on using a cam stabilizer to create a floating motion to film someone walking. Then maybe one for using jkl to scrub thru footage instead of dragging the the tl cursor.
Then I am taking universal and Spike Lee to court. Lol """ What you do with what you have, is more important than what you could do, with what you don't have." > > > Knowledge + Action = Wisdom - J. Corbett 1992 """"
