Asking for a patent to prove ownership of an idea or invention is trite and irrelevant, in this case and generally. I question Toby’s motives for asking it here when he should know, as a tech person, a successful invention taken to market is NOT dependent on a patent – the history of inventions is proof. And in this case, the court accepted PCM was Makate’s and – this is key – he was promised compensation. QED.
