Patent Eligibility — COLLEAGUE and FENTON’S WAY

This is not a process. This is an invention.
COLLEAGUE is a recursive, fractal, continuously updating medical care engine. It is a technical system architecture that did not exist—until now.

How COLLEAGUE Meets USPTO Requirements

  • Novelty (§102): No prior system that defines, delivers, and recursively updates care across patient → team → system → nation scales using a MET-to-ISSUE structure.

  • Non-Obviousness (§103): Not a variation on EHRs, clinical pathways, or Lean/Six Sigma. Implements a logic engine that co-curates and optimizes Benefit/Cost in real time.

  • Not Abstract (§101): Executable architecture (software/AI), not a mental process.

  • Enablement (§112): Prototype exists; NDA Brief includes diagrams, data flows, recursive cycles, and example outputs.

  • Inventive Step: Enables curated care beyond human cognitive limits.
