Primary 9 Report post Posted October 13, 2017 Should we be able to patent our blueprints? If we are able to patent our own blueprints, so that you cannot copy someone’s idea without paying. I think this should be implemented so that is you are trying to make money off a idea you don’t just get it stolen by some one else. 1 TheAtlasWarrior reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkarma 10 Report post Posted October 22, 2017 As a person who's real life job (one of them) is patents, I'm going to go out on limb here and say no. We don't need that kind of baggage on our ship designs. Now if you are talking about Read only blueprints that doesn't allow a ship to be edited upon being created/printed. Sure. But all the hassle of locking out reverse engineering? No. Just no. 1 KurockNotabi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
