That's how everyone saw many "Organizer" type programs did it 20 years ago, including one that I've developed on Win 3.11, BTW... So, what's new here?
Patent system in the US is completely broken and it serves only purpose of generating money to the US Patent Office itself and to companies, hiring big departments of high paid lawyers and willing to sue everyone around and making big money in the process. For the latter it's a new form of business now, business of making money form litigations... It's absurd.
