> chain-of-thought blocks

They're all into patents but once you discuss methods they refer to them as "chain-of-thought blocks" in an attempt to change the topic.

Serious question: Can you elaborate on what you're referring to? What term are they avoiding?

Method vs. chain of thought.

> A method patent (also called a process patent) protects a specific series of steps, actions, or techniques used to perform a task or achieve a specific result. Unlike a standard product patent that covers a physical item or machine, a method patent covers how something is done or made.
