No, that is not correct. If someone publishes a formula and you
optimize
it and come up with different periods or apply it in a
different way that is
your work.
Let me use an example to show the subtlety of this. Every car
has an
engine and transmission. Every different variation has a different
patent. There may be only a small variation but you would not have to
pry royalties on the new variation. You can do two things, publish it
or
patent it. Once you do either then the work you did is in the
public domain
and no one else can patent your work.

The two elements are: passing stuff off as your own when you
copied it from
someone else and selling it as your own idea.

People like Wilder published his works so others could benefit
from his
discoveries. What the copyright laws do is prevent someone
from copying his
work and selling it. But the intellectual property
he disclosed is for our
use. Why else would he publish it?Barry--- In
