And what a title it is. Trying to parse it before reading the article, I thought someone had patented Death Squads, and I was trying to figure out if that was a technical system or a mercenary system.

Yeah, I very much had to reread the headline to see if it was a death squad for patents or a patent on death squads.

I'm a bit surprised at Bloomberg, because they had as much space as they wanted. Normally this happens with things like the BBC app, where full headlines are truncated down to a few words. That's how we get winners like "New powers over death considered".

I was imagining a decision centering on whether criminal conduct can be patented. Imagine: suing drug cartels for infringing on your contraband distribution business process.
