The complexities of modern life amuse us, confuse us and confound us. The vast majority of people using computers and smartphones have hardly a clue as to their inner workings. These devices are a mystery. They are magical, and we are much like Alice in this technological wonderland. Even more complicated are the patents that cover the many manifestations of these devices, as well as all other technologies. Indeed, patents are a potent tool for individuals and companies wanting to protect their innovations and secure their competitive edge.
