Likewise, because publication of an idea in any other form permanently【B8】______further patents on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other areas of print.【B9】______. Anyone closely-involved in patents and inventions soon learns that most new ideas are, in fact, as old as the hills.【B10】______that makes news and money.
