what happens if I get a software patent over a product solution I am planning to develop for mobile?
How do I enforce google and apple to take down all clones?
freetards don't need to reply with their comunist garbage that make programmers to starve on the street.

You could consider suicide.
We're all just going to pirate it, anyway.
>>54217474
Isn't software copyrighted, not patented?

fuck off commie dumbass.

who the fuck makes money over dumb poorfags users?

You can patent certain things. Namco had a patent on loading screen minigames until recently, and Square Enix had a patent on their battle system.

About that picture, the car at the top probably isn't tracking you while the one at the bottom is definitely tracking you so freedom wins, fag

Firstly, you copywrite code. You don't actually patent it.
Secondly, you do the legwork yourself, and you sue people who clone the software if you can manage to track them down (good luck).
Here's what you need to do if you wanna get paid: Develop the software, and then SELL IT to someone who can deal with the nightmare of the legal process for you. You get a lump sum payout (and maybe a job), and then it's not your concern anymore.

That wikipedia article explains that software isn't patentable in most of the world. Where do you live?
>>54217474
Just ask your team of lawyers how to do it.
>>54217574
my question is about forcing google to take down clones.
acording to the definition of the patent law, you can patent algorithms that fit the criteria for patents.
>>54217570
fuck off commie.
>>54217585
the only country that matters is the US.
>>54217565
That's retarded. The EU and Russia pretty much ban software patenting.
Software is just math, and math isn't patentable.

You, on the other hand, are planning to spend your creativity on tracking and reporting people who pirate your shitty cuckware.
>>54217474
You can't, because 'pre-exsisting art', ie the pre-existing clones will rule your patent invalid.

Israel?
>>54217594
>the only country that matters is the US.
The US has retarded patent laws. Your idea might not be non-obvious enough to be patented anyway.

>>54217638
there's no preexisting clone.
I already made a search on the mobile stores, there's none.

It's an idea for handicapped people and helping a certain type of dissability people.
It's not meant for the average fa/g/

>my question is about forcing google to take down clones.
And my answer remains the same. You ether get an army of lawyers who bill you hourly to scour the internet for copies, at which point, they can attempt to sue those parties (presuming they are in jurisdiction of your nation's law, or live in a nation that respects the law), OR you can just sell it (usually for an valuation of what it is worth over the next 2 years) and leave it in someone else's hands.
For example, let's say you developed a better AutoCAD. You can't sue google for linking to the pirate bay, where people can download it for free. You can't even get google to take down the link to thepiratebay (or else it would have already been done).
Without registration keys/codes, your software is going to be free to anyone who wants it. With registration keys/codes (as well as a limited number of uses per code), it doesn't matter how many people download it, because only a select number of people can use it for each code available.
A good example of this is Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Word. You can only use each code a couple of times, so it doesn't matter that a million people downloaded it illegally, unless they each have a code from another user (and abuse of codes results in the code being black listed).
If you can't even wrap your head around this, you're off to a really bad start.

I'm talking about other software developers making clones.

>I'm talking about other software developers making clones.
Great. Hire a team of lawyers who bill you hourly, or scour the internet for clones, find one, and THEN hire a lawyer to sue them. Google doesn't enter the equation, unless Google is the one cloning your software.

cool, but don't google has a process for taking down illegal apps?
>>54217701
nigger, I'm talking about a mobile app to help a certain type of disable people to perform a certain type of activity.
dumbass.
The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust takes a matter of seconds to refill while the Tesla takes an hour to put 22 miles of range in the batteries from a normal outlet and even a fast charger takes a full hour to get 300 miles of range. Also, the Tesla only has 2 seats in the front and the Hammerhead has 3. Finally, a new Tesla battery costs $12k while the Hammerhead battery pack costs a mere $100.
In short, you'd be a lunatic to buy the Tesla.

That's fine. I don't peddle proprietary software like a flea market gypsy.

Burden is on you to prove that it is an illegal app, which requires going to court, as google doesn't check the records of copywrite or patents. They don't check anything on their store. They aren't a closed garden, like Apple.
Why are you even coming to /g/ for this kind of advice? Talk to a lawyer.
