Re: [Phys-l] Patent laws [was Video Encyclopedia of Physics Demos (ownership)]

Pls reread my post. One does not ordinarily buy a car under a copyright license. Patent law and copyright law are governed by totally different statutes and have little in common. Violation of a copyright may be a criminal offense, for example. That is not true of a patent infringement.

This thread made me think about a hypothetical situation with a car. An
inventor bought a car and then invented something to improve
performance. He adds this gadget to the existing structure and drives a
better car. Is he violating a patent law?
