Watchman, Many people have such ideas. The downside is that they sleep on the idea turning it useless. Our education system is one where you are fashioned to employment and what happens is that once you reach the promised land of employment, your time is consumed by monotonous routine. Creativity may be seen as insubordination and such time spent may be termed as neglecting your duties. If your creativity goes far and looks promising, your immediate boss may sell the idea to management as his own, earning some good perks in the process as you get pressurised to make the idea work. That's the dotKE version.

What if Mc'Dubious held IP rights to the idea and still went ahead to bla bla at the CEO, and the CEO pretended not to listen to it only for the idea to be seen on a billboard along Waiyaki Way? Is Mr.CEO liable for patent infringement?
