Again, just my opinion, but ideas should never be patented. Implementations, maybe, but never ideas.
Btw, my understanding of patents and copyrights (now that I'm awake enough to reference my memory) is that a patent is a one-shot protection for 17 years, and copyrights are indefinitely renewable, lasting 7 years.
Yes? No? Maybe? Ask db?
