haha, USSR position on patenting ;-)

I think that i can't patent wheel because it's "widely used at this
moment"
and i can't patent software(source code) because there is no
explanations what things are under this patent,and whats aren't (and
this explanation size is bigger than program size by many times,or it's
too wide)

As any other laws,patent laws aren't as precize as phisical laws.There
is a many ways to patent wheel.Speculation possible on any laws,and of
course patents is not a exception.

Patents are good for me,say,if i will research new engine that have good
efficiency,i will spend a LOT of my time and money!Where i can get this
money back if here is no patenting?
I have some good ideas i will patent.It's not a patenting  wheel.
