Hello Daryo

I think I fully understand your objection now but if you Google "Scientific Patents", there are simply too many hits to say that the term is wrong in some way

It is used to describe patents of a more highly scientific/technical nature.

So your point that you cannot patent a scientific theory is interesting but I don't think you should disagree with the use of the phrase "scientific patent" unless you really want to say that all the people/sites who use it are fundamentally wrong.

It isn't directly related to this question

10:18 Apr 30, 2020

but it definitely IS related to patents as a specialisation in translating.

This Asker keeps repeatedly calling patents he's working on "scientific patents", which makes no sense.

The making of an atomic bomb involves undeniably a lot of "science", still I can't remember anyone ever calling an atomic bomb "a scientific bomb".

Even a low-tech catapult requires some "science" in order to predict the trajectory of the projectile, still I never heard of a "scientific catapult".

In the same vein, however much "science" was applied in a patent, the patent itself is certainly not "scientific".

End of digression.

The purpose of Kudoz (surely?) is to enable translators, some of whom are highly experienced, to pass on their wisdom in a helpful and constructive manner to other translators who might have less experience in that particular field. Long may it continue.

The guy is not trying to patent gradients of a slope but another invention entirely. Surely patents can make reference to mathematical/scientific concepts and formula even if the latter can't be patented?

I note too that there are lots of jobs for patent scientists.

I think you have completely lost it with your disagrees and moral lessons but this one takes the biscuit.

When are you going to take notice that there is no such thing as a "scientific" patent?

Since this is related to the previous questions (servo-assisted steering), then these would be slopes of a curve, or set of, curves. Speed (or velocity) is given by the slope of a function whose ordinate is displacement and whose abscissa is time. If the function is multidimensional, then "gradient" might be more appropriate. In the absence of the graph in question, it seems to me that "rampe" is redundant.

Reference information:
What you can patent

You can use a patent to protect your invention. It gives you the right to take legal action against anyone who makes, uses, sells or imports it without your permission.

To be granted a patent, your invention must be all of the following:

-- something that can be made or used
-- new
-- inventive - not just a simple modification to something that already exists
Patents are expensive and difficult to get. Before you apply, check if a patent is right for your business.

What you can’t patent

You can’t patent certain types of invention, including:

-- literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works
-- a way of doing business, playing a game or thinking
-- a method of medical treatment or diagnosis
-- a discovery, scientific theory or mathematical method
-- the way information is presented
-- some computer programs or mobile apps
-- ‘essentially biological’ processes like crossing-breeding plants, and plant or animal varieties

Note to reference poster

Asker: @mrrafe in fact the term was takn from a scientific patent, which I couldn't specify differently.

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)

neutral

mrrafe: Agreed but another part of this ST appears in a prior question, and seems to be more of a patent for a steering mechanism which is OK. This part is just explanation of the mechanism. I think.

1 hr

-> a patent for a "steering mechanism"- i.e. for s.t. that can be made THAT can be patented OTOH whatever scientific knowledge was applied in elaborating the "thing" IS NOT what is or could be "patented" - that distinction seems too hard to grasp?

neutral

SafeTex: the reference is fine but not the point that you are trying to make. Just because the question is scientific here does not mean that he is trying to patent a scientific theory. We all know the patent is for a steering mechanism of some sort!!!

20 hrs

-> this Asker keeps repeadly calling patents "scientific patents" - which makes no sense.
