Intellectual Property Law | Patents & Trademarks

[Vollidiot39]

Hey guys, I have a bit of a problem. My classmate asked me to write a script and so I did, and then we had a bit of a fight and she has a copy of my script. We don't communicate anymore so that is alarming because my work isn't copyright protected. What should I do?

[TheRhinehart86]

@Vollidiot39 Your work is automatically protected the moment you wrote it, the problem is proving that you wrote the original. Do you have drafts and revised copies etc? Because if it comes to the crunch and you have that stuff and she doesnt then its pretty open/shut. Otherwise you can try and recite particular parts from memory

[Vollidiot39]

@TheRhinehart86 I have drafts and thank you very very much for your help! Great job!

[HammerOvThor]

The intellectual property debate is a debate on property in general. ~FIN~ Argue with me faggots

[TheRhinehart86]

@HammerOvThor Hows this for an argument: Anyone who puts ~FIN~ in a YouTube comment is probably more of a faggot than anyone who has an opinion on intellectual property, particularly when they then proceed to write further without adding a post-script :D

>>but that everyone working in the area knows about the innovation as soon as its published<<

simply not true. Tesla invented free energy 100 years ago.

Hi Michael, I like th echannel. We're in the process of putting something similar together from the UK/European angle at Innovation Enthusiast.

The Rights we have are “unalienable Rights.” A deeper understanding of these Rights is through the prism of science (see my channel video). Property, Patents & Trademarks is an outgrowth from these Rights therefore; they are not rights but concepts. Liberty in concept acquisition becomes an objective therefore; a successful pursuit of said objective generates Happiness. The rule of Law is society’s property protecting our unalienable Rights manifesting in: Property, Patents, Trademarks, etc.

New medicines for what? Cures? There are no such things as pharmaceutical cures. Allopathy (which is what western medicine is) means 'other disease'. Western medicine is based on this principle. Were you aware that western medicine itself - including prescription drugs, (correctly and incorrectly prescribed) is the leading cause of death now? A million people could be persuaded to donate a dollar to independent researchers to test the efficacy of a substance more effectively.

[immayhem]

Pharmaceutical giants hold patents on lifesaving medicines (cures for cancer, cures for about everything), swooping into university labs and buying them up when a medicine is successful in clinical trials... and have been holding onto them for 20 years. Disease is more profitable. Again, preventing innovation. Energy dependency on fossil fuels infrastructure is more lucrative than the innovative discoveries that have been made in the last hundred years, of which the patents are kept locked up.

[InnovationEnthusiast]

@immayhem You imply that patents are "kept locked up" for hundreds of years. In fact, the quid pro quo of being granted the limited monopoly that patent protection bestows is that you have to tell the world how you do it. Not only does this mean that 20 years or less after you gained the patent anyone else can copy your inventions - as generic drug companies do as soon as the pharma giants' patent lapse - but that everyone working in the area knows about the innovation as soon as its published

[InnovationEnthusiast]

@immayhem -2 Now I'm not saying that there aren't abuses to the IP system and that it can't be improved, but if there were no IPR very many inventions where the innovations are in the design and process of manufacturing, and pharma's a good example,would be protected by keeping them secret. Would that be better?

[Cult1022]

don't be so harsh, to disagree about something doesn't make one a worse human :) never discuss the person, just discuss the topic.

[djzacmaniac]

Intellectual Property=Imaginary Property. If you carve a stone statue to sell, then I take pictures from every angle, load the pictures in my PC, then start mass producing your statues, I haven't stolen anything that belongs to you. You still have your statue. Why should you have control over my camera and PC? You statue does not lose possible sales value, because it is only worth what the final selling price is.

[Cult1022]

@djzacmaniac wrong.

[djzacmaniac]

@Cult1022 Nope.

[Cult1022]

@djzacmaniac  :P

[djzacmaniac]

@Cult1022 ;)

[Cult1022]

@djzacmaniac if i write a book, you take it to a scanner and scan every page.. after that you just re-write all the text... have you stolen anything? this is what IP is all about, to have the right to profit from your ideas, and to sue those who try to make profit of your idea.

[djzacmaniac]

@Cult1022 You can't copyright ideas. Just the physical manifestations of your creative work. If I download a song, I took nothing physical from you. You still have your song to sell as you please. If I use MY paper and MY ink, who are you to tell me which letters, and in what order I am ALLOWED to use them in? You have no rights over my physical property.

[Cult1022]

@djzacmaniac hi djzacmaniac! thats why it's called intellectual property. If there was no intellectual property, it would not make sense to spend money on the part of your company which focuses on inventions. it would make more sense to pay spies to get the secrets from another company. in the long run humanity would remain on a static level of development. do you see my point, and why i am convinced that IP is absolutely necessary for the modern human?

[djzacmaniac]

@Cult1022 You are again incorrect. Innovation is exactly what the current model for copyright disallows. It doesn't protect songwriters, it stops them from releasing material. It doesn't protect innovation, it disallows generic drugs to be dispensed. Look at Bitter Sweet Symphony by Oasis. Were they protected by copyright law? What happed to their innovation? Copyright is a way to sue people who innovate. Stagnation is what you get when you can't build on the past.

[Cult1022]

@djzacmaniac i see the point in "stagnation is what you get when you can't build on the past" but overall i can't agree with you.

[djzacmaniac]

@Cult1022 You have to ignore reality to disagree with me. If you are fine with that, it's whatever.

[immayhem]

@djzacmaniac You are absolutely correct.

IP is the lynchpin that keeps monopolies in power & prevents innovation (esp. in the technology). Creative Commons Licensing, for those who want to collaborate and participate in real innovation will increase dramatically in response to that control. There will be new ways of prospering via the creation of products that arise from those innovations - without claiming to own any part of the idea, which can always be improved on. Bottom-up value creation.

[immayhem]

@Cult1022 If bottom line was the focus of your company, then no... but among organized groups of people committed to making the best product, having it proliferate, and be able to be constantly improved on... and thereby creating structures in which their services are the most marketable, then yes, it makes ALOT of sense. I can give you an example: Linux. Linux competes with two of the most powerful entities on the planet, and is completely free. Anyone can participate.

[Cult1022]

@immayhem linux is agood example for your point of view: now the other side: what about roche (pharma-giant) who else has the kind of money (several millions) to put into new medicines and vaccines? they have that money, because their meds are protected by IP. If you have a free community, you won't find enough people to invest millions in new meds, knowing that it will be copied and they won't make profit out of it... your opinion on this?

[immayhem]

@Cult1022 ... and the millions that Roche spends is mostly on advertising. I'd hate to guess the percent, but let's just say it's out of proportion. same with all the other Pharma giants... and many of the 'research' foundations (which are controlled by Big Pharma)... breast cancer in particular. It's disgusting.

[djzacmaniac]

@Cult1022 That hurts countries like Brazil who can't afford new medicines when they come out because of IP. So they have started ignoring those laws, and creating there own generic versions so they can help their sick. Sharing is caring.

[mmamolina]

Patents and Copyrights are sum straight up bs. If sum1 can make sumthin that sum1 else can make, then they should be able to do so. Copying is not stealing.
