To assume that copyright just protects "expressions," (unlike "ideas" protected by patents), may be misleading because a particularly ordered procedure is also protected by copyright law. The procedure as well as the image of Park's Sweet Spot Theory require prior written permission from the original copyright holder for its use. Because this would stymie future generations from building further on this idea, I returned the theory-based patent to society so that prospective research and development will have no hindrances in the establishment of new knowledge/solutions in nursing science.
