The same way you can patent chemical formulas. Those things don't come from nothing and there is some serious work and thought behind it.

You can NOT patent a mathematical formula. You can only patent a novel way to use it, as math is not created but discovered.

Ok. So this is true! Now, didn't Genicap say as part of their statement on the the issue, something along the lines of "Can you please show us how you were able to create a practical application using our long dormant formula?" I'm paraphrasing here, strictly from memory. It's more fun that way. At any rate, what does that leave Genicap with? A friendly meeting if they're very nice.
