gollark: So if I come up with the genius idea of a compact ore processing system by putting a pulverizer and redstone furnace next to each other, I can patent that?

gollark: So I guess you would have to either allow people to patent only new-for-CC things and ignore most existing implementations, or basically not allow patenting anything.
