• "simply because a patent is expired doesn't mean protection of the patent has also expired" - actually it does. The article cited makes no such statement. You could say that "simply because a patent is expired doesn't mean protection of the product has also expired." As the IP attorney pointed out...there are some patents that haven't expired, there are foreign patents that haven't expired and there are copyright and trademark protections for other intellectual property interests. But when a patent expires...it does actually expire...that is sort of the point... In reply to: "CES vendors showing off shady old-school console emulators"
