[casual_games] Gameplay patents

[Milt Michael]

Although I'm no expert on patents, I am going forward with a patent
application for my game because I feel it contains new processes and
formulas that improve gameplay.

I'd sure like to hear from others who have gone down this road though!

Hi.

I've seen several games that have the same gameplay (almost clones).

Is there "patents" on gameplay?

Or on some game mechanism/interface?

My concern is because we are about to launch a game that its gameplay looks
very much to a classic, but have many more features.
