Hmmm.

But the macabre innovation that enables remote killing will likely be denied copyright protection.

“While the application is still pending further paperwork on his part, the invention will probably be found to violate paragraph two of the German Patent Law – which does not allow inventions that transgress public order or good morals,” spokeswoman Stephanie Krüger told The Local from Munich.

The patent application – entitled “Implantation of electronic chips in the human body for the purposes of determining its geographical location” – was filed on October 30, 2007, but was only published until last week, or 18 months after submission as required by German law, she said.

The tiny electronic device, dubbed the “Killer Chip” by Swiss daily Tagesanzeiger, would be suited for tracking fugitives from justice, terrorists, illegal immigrants, criminals, political opponents, defectors, domestic help, and Saudi Arabians who don’t return home from pilgrimages.

I'll bet all the governments and militaries have this already - patent filed in 2007. Wonder what became of that guy.

"tracking domestic help," lol

"An alternate model chip could reportedly release a poison into the carrier if he or she became a security risk."
"But the law firm, DTS Munich, is no longer responsible for the application.

'We resigned from representation of this case last week,' a spokesman said without stating why."
Wow....

I'm certain they do. I would bet governments and militaries had this before any average civilian ever heard of it except the inventor. This is the sort of thing I've feared with RFID chips going...now who knows how this will be abused in the future...

Im surprised someone would dare even try to patent it. If that guy really is the original or the only inventor. Of this particular version.

I cant wait to learn more about this. The lawyers gave up representing it/the inventor this week, the article said.

arctichomesteader those RFID chips can be "0.3 millimeters square".

(Those might be only for products/barcodes, though) Photo of one here - Hitachi Unveils Smallest RFID Chip - RFID Journal

this is really scary!

Yeah isn't it though! I am really surprised there is not more discussion on this.
