Hawking had planned to apply for a name patent to promote the research on motor neuron diseases and prevent criminals from abusing his name for profit. However, the plan has not been finally implemented. In addition, it is reported that Hawking's academic thoughts and theoretical achievements have not been patented. Therefore, it can be concluded that Hawking's scientific thought cannot be patented.
