The position of a camera and people in a room is patentable now! What next. Where does this obscene urge come from to file absurd, obnoxious, predatory patents that do absolutely nothing except stifle innovation? Why can't businesses compete on their own merits and the value they provide the world? I wonder if they realize the harm they're causing--not to mention what they're doing completely violates yogic principles. They should retract the patent and issue an apology to the entire Yoga community. When will enough be enough and our patent system finally reformed to prevent this frivolous, grotesque, and utterly wasteful behavior?



It comes from the jackpots (or the continual revenue stream) that such predatory patents provide.
