Are you telling me that my idea is not mine because you had the same idea? That makes no sense.

No, I'm telling you that while I think it's pure coincidence that you had the same idea after reading theirs, you're just shit out of luck.

So even though you believe that we came up with the idea independently of each other, one person should be allowed to use the idea and the other shouldn't?

That really just makes no sense.

Just like you would be shit out of luck if you published Crime and Punishment (which you totally wrote on your own) a few years after Dostoyevsky published his.
Even though I totally believe you.

You appear to be confusing patents and copyright. They're quite different things. You can't independently write the same novel. If I tried to publish a copy of an existing work then clearly I have copied it.

But chillax, the patent hasn't been granted yet, merely submitted (pending). If AsicBoost is as self-evident as you claim, no patent will be granted Smiley

You have more faith in the patent system than I do.
