All in the Mind?

The Irish Patents Office has a series of very helpful pages about the legal position of intellectual property in Ireland.

Having an idea is not enough. The form it is presented in is everything. Only when it is printed or embodied in an image can an idea be classified as "intellectual property".

This is becoming increasingly tedious as I work through many photos and generate new fractals. In a society where the value of each individual's input is lessened with each passing day, where the moaning about the future is like a drone of doom it would seem foolhardy to think anything.

Marketing the fruits of intellectual labour would seem like an act of lunacy?
