     Looks like someone has still some "high" hopes for faceberg for a site that has a very bad track record of ""protecting"" user data which it doesn't do at all. So if they don't want to use the software/technology for their patents then why would they apply for one in then in the first place? Either they use it later as a leverage for law suit or they will make actually a usage of the patents they filled for, and knowing how faceberg behaves nowadays I am pretty sure it won't take that long that they are going to make usage of it as soon it is viable for them to do.
