patent and standard are contradictory

The terms "patent" and "standard" are completely contradictory and can not
be used in conjunction with each other.  A patent is created to allow
intellectual property to be non-standard, this allows the owner of the
intellectual property to have sole possession of it.  A standard is created
to allow the open sharing and use of intellectual property and to create a
uniform procedure of doing things.  The two cannot be used together because
they are completely contradictory.

To sum things up:  Internet technology can not be patented due to the open
interaction needed to communicate through this medium.  Period.  Any
questions?
