[edit] Original source of article

The original version of this article was excerpted from U.S. Patent Application 20040153362 .--Nowa 03:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

may or may not be in the public domain
 In general, the contents of United States patents are in the public domain.[1]

In specific cases, patent applicants and holders may claim copyright in portions of those documents. In those specific cases, applicants are required to identify the portions that are protected under copyright, and are additionally required to state the following within the body of the application and patent:[2] [3]

A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material which is subject to (copyright or mask work) protection. The (copyright or mask work) owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by any­one of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all (copyright or mask work) rights whatsoever.

The original patent should be checked for the presence of such language before an assumption is made that the contents are in the public domain.


[edit] Neutrality

Looks like some significant edits were made before I got back here. It's much more of a NPOV now, so I'm going to remove the tag I put on it. Mountainhawk 00:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

This article was created to plug a patent, plain and simple. It should be removed in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. TheActuary 22:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The issue of whether or not this article should be deleted since its original content was taken from a pending US patent application is under discussion at: User_talk:Nowa#Re:_Auto_insurance_risk_selection--Nowa 23:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
