Innovation vs Monopoly - "NO" on current patent changes

[rlinventor]

You are absolutely right. The patent system we have had in the US has given greater rights to the individual to own and protect his creation, period. The individual has always been the greatest innovation creator, and the US patent system has supported the individual in his quest - this is a big reason why the US has out-innovated the rest of the world. Multi-national companies have wanted for years to remove the threat of a guy in his garage upsetting their vested interests. Yes, vote no!

[rlinventor]

@elchippe In the US, independent inventors have created more important new technologies than corporate entities. If you patent a new product, you can compete with the big guys. Without the patent system, whoever has the most efficient manufacturing/marketing setup wins - and that is not your or me. A patent on an "obvious" technology can be invalidated - if it really is obvious, it should not receive a patent. The current US system is better than those elsewhere at enabling the individual.

@rlinventor

- I dont think the independent inventors made more technology than the big guys because they have more money for R&D than independent inventors, but i think that if he/she develop a technology in a new area of technology a patent could help.

[elchippe]

@rlinventor - if you have a patent over you product and a big company have a bigger patent portafolio over that area of technology it can use their patents to destroy you product, remember patents dont give you the rigth to use your invention if give you the rigth to exclude everyone from produce it, sometimes patents overlap each other ( innovation).

@rlinventor

-And yes the us patent office award patent over obvious and patented technologies, trying to invalidate a patent in a court is costly process for a small company and more costly after a patent troll attack you.

[elchippe]

@rlinventor I dont saying dont patent your invention if you think is worth for it, but the patent system is not perfect, is only thing that we have, but is not perfect.

good vid you boys!

LOL wtf?

It's big corporations that benefit the MOST from U.S. patent law. Patents hurt the little guy, dipshits. They allow many corporations to monopolize crucial techniques and methods, esp. with copyrights.

This video is nonsense. Big corporations wont lobby to abolish patent laws. They want stronger patent laws. Without patent laws anybody could compete with large corporations. They don`t want to have new competition. They want monopoly.

"Don't let Washington Lobbyist or Corporate Goliaths destroy our U.S. patent system by changing the current patent laws that protect new ideas, innovations and inventions! "

Feh.

The patent system is broken - undeserving patents are slipping through, and very obvious things are being patented - having a huge reprecussion on those who are truely innovating.

This is misguided, and I asupport patent reform 100%.

[travelsonic]

The patent system needs change - too many frivolous and undeserving patents are slipping through the cracks, and too many patent trolls are stifling competition and innovation.

Patents should represent a balance between the patentee and the public. If the balance isn't right, the system doesn't work as it should. Innovators' rights should be like Goldilocks' porridge - not too weak, not too strong, but just right. If too weak, large companies may ignore them - if too strong, they may prevent others using what ought to be free to all.

I am afraid that the more laws and regulations we allow Congress to enact, and the more bad judicial rulings we tolerate from judges, the more ways to violate the little guy will be found and exploited.

So true. Microsoft's core business isn't software, it's buying out companies and use OEMs as their own, like Internet Explorer, DOS, and even the 3D flip in Vista.

Patriot Scientific is just one of many companies that depend on patents to survive and innovate new products.
