I think the query is the materials used in weathering are problem?? this is a tough question. If the patent office feels they can issue a patent on "something" then I guess they can. <br />[/quote] <br />I think the common misconception is that there has to be a machine or device involved in a patent. Consider: Over 100 patents on human genes are held by Human Genome Sciences of Rockville, MD and over 7,000 more are pending. <br /> <br />Your process of arm waving while standing on a pickle may not be improbable. I'd consult a patent atttorney first, though Human Genome Sciences may already own the patent to the gene that causes this behavior. <br /> <br />Wayne
