Re: [amibroker] Footprint Intellectual Property

["Mr. Duke Jones" <Duke@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Julian, it appears they have just registered the name which would prevent you from using or referring to similar type name in your charts. However, they may have qualified for a patent as Lehman did for a concept as referenced in this article

However, it does not appear to state a patent number anywhere in its material.

I've been working on my own footprint charts for Amibroker and was just curious about the patents Market Delta claims:

Any IP guru's here that could explain to what extent this kind of patent would reach? Is just the Footprint name Trademarked or have they actually patented the chart type? I.e. A coloured rectangle on screen that shows bid vs ask price.
That seems fairly crazy to me, yet they license the idea out at $25 per user.
Is the candle patented? :)

Julian.
