AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - As a plane with a Grumpy Cat flag flew overhead, courtesy of Friskies, the Technorati flooded into panel discussions and happy hour spots at the annual tech festival South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, on Sunday.

Top tech influencers pondered immortality and mind cloning. FireChat, an app that lets smartphone users connect via mobile chat even without a cellular connection, was another hot topic. Here's a look at the most notable trending topics Sunday at the tech jamboree.

OFF-THE-GRID MOBILE CHAT

No cell service? No problem.

An app called FireChat uses phone signals such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to connect to other users' phones and enable chats without any network connection. The app, created by a San Francisco startup called Open Garden, debuted in 2012 and was a hit last August at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock, Nevada, where cell phone service is scarce.

It links people via what it calls a "peer-to-peer mesh network," connecting through phone signals rather than a network. The range is about 90 feet but the connection can jump from phone to phone if there's a crowd. It's software-only, says co-founder and CEO Micha Benoliel. Currently the app supports public group chats and hashtags; private messaging is coming.

The app, which is a finalist for South by Southwest's innovation awards, has 5 million users and has been used by tens of thousands of people in India and the Philippines at political protests. As a new startup, Benoliel says his first time at South by Southwest has been positive. "The best surprise has been going to parties and having people asking how they can use FireChat for their event," he says.

TRANSGENDER AND BEYOND IN TECH

United Therapeutics CEO Martine Rothblatt, who considers herself a "transhumanist," discussed advances in "mind cloning" in a keynote Sunday. She said she believes people will one day be able to clone their cognitive functions, and detailed her biotech company's advances in cloning organs and making the process of transferring organs from donor to recipient more efficient.

To help us kick off the new White Noise, Warren Ellis has graciously agreed to answer our questions about the future. Ask the creator of Transmetropolitan and the popularizer of the bowel disruptor what's on your mind. We'll send some choice questions over and publish his answers later this week.

This Q/A is my first intrepid undertaking as editor of White Noise. Never give up on your dreams, folks. I was thrilled by the badass feedback on our reboot post and the awesome range of people who are ready to contribute to this site. If you haven't yet, head over to that post and tell us what you want to cover what topics you'd love to write, read, photograph, draw, or debate about, and why. Then come back here with a question for Warren Ellis.

Ellis is the force behind the graphic novels Transmetropolitan, Planetary, Red, and Global Frequency, has worked on every comics property you've ever heard of, is the author of the best-selling Gun Machine, and has a demonstrated knack for seeing which way where we're trending with technology. Much of his work specializes in "transhumanist" themes like nanotech, body modification, and cryonics y'know, the good stuff. When he agreed to appear on White Noise, I high-fived my Spider Jerusalem action figure.

At a reading, I once stood up to tremulously ask Ellis what fantastical tech he'd most like to see come about in our lifetime, and received the answer of teleportation. Then I texted my friends "We are the same, Warren Ellis and I. I don't think I'm breathing."

What if you could ask Warren Ellis anything about the future?

Ask Warren Ellis Your Craziest Questions About The Future

Astronaut Terry Virts performing an experiment on the International Space Station. At what point does a discovery on the ISS or other location in space become a patentable invention? (credit: NASA)

Patents and industrial property has been around probably since the dawn of human inventiveness. Such property rights can be tracked down to ancient Greece, while the actual patents and monopolies have flourished since the 15th century. The invention had to be a technical solution to an existing problem that would be applicable without any further modifications for it to function properly. One may not, however, apply for a patent for a scientific discovery. But when do we distinguish discovery from invention, and where does that line actually blur?

A scientific discovery in legal terms is physical phenomena or process that occurs naturally under certain circumstances. As opposed to an invention, a discovery hasnt been artificially created by an inventor. An invention, however, can harness or artificially recreate such phenomena, and thus, such an invention can be patented.

But the case of space-based patents is far more complicated. For example, do we treat the outer space and zero-g environment as natural in this context? The low or zero gravity environments can be viewed as natural, though it is difficult to say that they are natural environments for an organism aboard a spaceship or a manufacturing space station.

In legal terms, the invention is described as any new and useful art, process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement in any art, process machine, manufacture, or composition of matter. But is getting a plant to a zero-g environment a process? Although both plants and zero-g environments are present in the universe, especially on Earth and in the solar system, there are no natural plants living in outer space. And if we treat the changes occurring in vegetation, fungi, and other living organisms placed in this kind of environment as merely a discovery, what could be then treated as an invention?

If, for example, someone discovered that in certain environments there is a particular process occurring that wasnt foreseen prior to the placement procedure, what could be patented: the process, the method of artificially reproducing the process, the product of the process? In the case of European patent law, which differs from its US counterpart, an invention would be the application of the effect, or method of altering the effect, but not the effect itself.

This, however, is based on the assumption that the effect of placing a living organism in an organism in certain non-native environments will be treated as a discovery. Discoveries are not regarded as inventions in European patent law. However, one could follow the path of the WIPO patent filings WO2001023595A2, titled Reduced gravity transformation process and product, and WO2009137135A2, titled On-orbit procedures for adapting plants and animals to hostile environments, and treat the process of placement itself as an invention.

In this case, from the European standpoint, one could apply for a patent for the method of placing and organism in the non-native environment, with alterable artificial gravity, as well as any products of such procedure, for the organism has been artificially placed in an non-native environment, and as with artificially placing altered genes into an organism, such procedure also falls under the category of biotech patents.

In Diamond v. Chakrabarty, the United States Supreme Court held that living matter is patentable if it is created by man. The Court explained that a genetically engineered bacterium is not a natural phenomenon but a non-naturally occurring product of human ingenuity. In AMP v. Myriad Genetics, the Court was again asked to draw a line between discovery and invention and ruled that isolated genomic DNA (gDNA) is not patentable but complementary DNA (cDNA) is. The Court reasoned that genomic DNA, consisting of exons and introns, is a product of nature that has been merely isolated from a living organism by removal and separation from its natural environment. A strand of cDNA, on the other hand, is synthetically created and contains the same exons found in natural DNA but lacks introns.
