Intellectual Property (IP) is essential to fostering innovation and helping us meet today's and tomorrow's challenges. Judge Randall R. Rader (US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) discusses the value of a strong IP system in maintaining an innovative economy, not only for the 'industrial giants' but also for developing nations.

  • The US remains an economic leader via innovation and protection via strong intellectual property rights. To suggest otherwise is intellectually dishonest. Developing competing protects without incurring R&D expenses steals an innovator's just return & discourages new R&D. The US has no moral obligation to support the world. The world should follow the US's freedom example. The world has a moral obligation to take off the yoke of statism's tyranny, secure private property rights, and reward work.

  • Judge Rader ignores the history of IP. The US blatantly ignored IP from other countries while the US was developing. Early US IP law did not grant rights to forging authors or inventors. The US push for strong IP internationally is not to out of good will to help develop fledgling economies.

    Developing countries need to be able to build on the past freely or they will be stuck in the rights gridlock that is plaguing US patents currently.

  • I prefer honoring new ideas instead of policing into people's idea itself. What is a protection? Is the current IP laws protecting something from going bad or good or just about money? Was money assuring innovation and distribution? The current IP is a total lobbyist brainwashed US gov't attempts to make sales for monopolization of big corporations and their legal departments. Many schools, law researchers, courts and judges don't share the idea of IP itself or of Patent departments.
