IBM’s “innovative” patent on Time Management..
Ever wondered being called into a meeting where you had absolutelty nothing to contribute ? Or have you been to a meeting wherre there is some guy who is showing you a presentation packed with zillion lines on the company template, with his back to you and reading through those lines as if you ( or others in the room) never existed?
Well, IBM seems to have wondered about such meetings. A little too much. So much that, they have “figured” it all out and are claiming a patent..haa! who knew ? and how… They have put some cute screenshots from, i guess, Lotus Notes ( IBM does NOT use Outlook) and are proclaiming that well, if you schedule a meeting for one hour, you end up finding enough issues to keep you occupied for that one hour… Solution? oh well… Keep the meetings short….. Brrrrrrillliant, i say and yes, definetely patentable….
No wonder, they keep shattering the “patent records”. maybe, they need to file another patent for shattering existing patent records…
