Patents are like icebergs, there's often mountains of R&D technology underneath that was deemed unnecessary to protect.

Also... I can give first-hand testimony that one company is using an automated process similar to infinite monkey[^] to generate machine instructions, then use a battery of tests to see if it can solve equations. After bazillions of iterations if something is found it goes to a team to look at how it works. I don't think this is unusual, I was given the impression that several others have similar programs.

What I found fascinating was that almost none of the discoveries were patented. When I asked the team leaders why, I was given:

1.) Patents would require disclosing how the algorithm works.
2.) It is very unlikely others will find them anytime soon.

Some of the discoveries are massively parallel[^] and my understanding is that we think they can only be found by this type of machine process.
