- maxerickson 13y agoMy not particularly well informed understanding is that it is more a of a practical exception than a technical one. So a patent holder could try to use the legal system to stop personal use, it just isn't worth doing.
- nonamegiven 13y agoI suspect "making available" would be treated similar to selling. But if the law is as described in the ref'd comment, I wonder why there aren't sites or books that walk you up to the point where you can provide the invention for your personal use.
