Genuine question, are patents private information? I was under the impression it was public, which is why companies won’t patent a recipe (I very well could be confusing this with copyright or trademark)
Please correct me if I am wrong, I am always open to learning
I would think that too, but didn’t Mega Man x Street Fighter and Mega Man Maker or what ever start as fan games and then get picked up by Capcom? At the very least, they aren’t Nintendo
