On Nov. 3, the US Patent & Trademark Office revealed that Apple has filed patent application 20050246554 titled "system and method for creating tamper-resistant code." James D. Batson is listed as the sole inventor for application 837413 originally filed in April 2004. This appears to be related to Apple's forthcoming Tiger-Intel platform. Elsewhere, 10.4.3 for x86 is in sync with the PowerPC version.

Actually, anything on a computer is essential a really long number. Just takes all the binary bits in sequence, and get their decimal equivalent and there you go. And everybody knows you can't patent or copyright numbers. This argument is technically correct, but go ahead and try using it in court - it won't work. Same for the mathematical formula argument. GG.
