"SIX DEGREES" PATENTS

Wordspy has recorded another intellectual property-based neologism, the "six degrees patent". Defining this as "the informal name sometimes applied to a patent for a network database and system used in some social networking sites", Wordspy explains that six degrees patents are named after the theory that everyone on earth is connected by no more than six intermediaries.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
