Thsi is a misunderstanding of intellectual property which is very common--
the myth of the idea.
I laid out in another note the catagories of protection the variosua reas
of law give. "Ideas" as sucha re nto rpotected b yany of them.
The closest is patent, and in patent there is athe cocnept of "prior art".
if the process in question can be shown to have been in use before the
granting of the patent by someoen other then the patent holder then the
patent is not valid.
