People who know nothing about the law tend to assume cute tricks like this work. They don't.

Can a product contain a patented technology without using it ?

Why do you think every country's courts would agree on something like that?

Hi,
Suppose one makes a product which contains "patented technology X" but it doesn't use it.
The product has an option/switch which allows the users to turn on the "patented technology X".
This option/switch would allow the user to decide if he uses the technology yes or no.
For example if the user is in a country where the technology is patented he could decide not to use it, otherwise he could use it.
Is it allowed to embed "patented technologies" like this ?

that?
Not all countries support patent systems or software patent systems and last but not least the product isn't using it ? Simple really ;)

What would be the point of "containing" something that you don't "use"?
When I go to fantasyland, I at least think of stuff that feels good.
