In Reply to: rights to medical protocol posted by MJ on June 14, 2001 at 15:36:34:

: If I figure out a procedure that nobody else has figured out yet using readily available tools by my piers, is there any way I can claim rights to the PROCESS and method of this procedure?

: Example:
: A surgeon discovers an ingenius new way to apply stitches so that the wound heals more quickly and with less scarring. Can he package and "own" his unique method?

Dear MJ,

The simple answer is not just yes. Were you employed at the time of your discovery? Is there a written employment contract. Has there been public use, and how long.
