The point I was making was that the protocol is a documented standard that can be implimented in several ways but the individual implimentation is unique. In much the same way that several sentences can be used to convey the same meaning but all have to adhere to the protocol in order for that communication to be understood.
And I still don't get your point.

A protocol is an intellectual construction that is as much useful as its implementation. From the point of view of the defense of intellectual rights, they are both as important, and i don't see why one should be more "protected" than the other. This was my initial point.
