I'm going to have to disagree with your disagreement, Mr. ClevelandBronco. I was one of the founders of a company that acquired a process patent. I remember it well because it cost us a bloody fortune. In our case, it was a video production process that utilized existing technologies (hardware and software). The process, however, was deemed sufficiently unique that the patent was awarded.
