But, its Apple. They're the bestest! They makes shinies!
My take on copyrights and patents would be the reduction route. I'm all for an entity, individual or corporation, being able to own a patent. You design something novel, you should have the right to the profits from that patent. Patent squatters should be addressed, if you hold a patent for something and do nothing with it for a length of time without showing any progress, such as production, then that patent should be invalidated and opened to everyone to build and compete with. Filing generic patents should also be addressed. Numerous patents filed by Apple, for example, so generic that they've basically been used by other companies for years. They've also applied for patents on numerous technologies that have been in use for decades and that were designed by other groups, CPU undervolting and displaying graphical icons on a grid, to name too.
Software patents get very sticky, but in general, I think they're over done/used. After a period of time, all software and code should be open sourced as well.
I know you don't know me, and unless you're really, REALLY well versed in analog circuitry and advanced analog multiplier topologies, I doubt that you know jack shit about my patents, let alone understand anything about them, proving once again that you don't know your ass from that hole in the ground full of your typical lying bullshit.
All you've proven is that you've got nothing to say and far too many words to say it.
Which has exactly jack to do with shit.
Any large corporation which wanted to use your invention without saying will do so and I highly doubt you could afford a protracted legal battle over it. At the very least, I'm sure your invention is likely similar enough to another patent that if a patent troll ever stumbled across it would make your life hell if they thought they could make a buck.
LOL, BoberFett, your continuing pissing game on democrats and republicans without EVER standing up for anything at all is getting boring.
Patents benefit inventors, some of them work for a company, in that case the company has the patent rights, in other cases patents benefit original creators, in any case, it drives competition, which is key in the free market and something you should love.
Go back to pretending you're a soldier. This conversation is above your head.
You mean it has exactly jack to do with a know nothing, lying POS like you.
If you're so damned knowledgeable about patents and electronic theory and designs, try looking up my patents, reading them and giving us a full report on exactly how and why my inventions are "similar enough to another patent." If you can't, just because you know absolutely nothing about anything doesn't mean you repeatedly have to prove it to everyone.
And for all of your empty bluster and outright lies, did you ever have the balls to put on a uniform to defend the nation you constantly betray and embarrass by pissing on the rights of others and tearing down its basic institutions?
Patent reform, particularly in the software arena is absolutely necessary. I generally agree, however, that patents are an important part of innovation. I see that every day where I work. We hold multiple patents on inventions of ours, which fuels our innovation.
Truthfully, most patent violators are just lazy. They don't bother to check what else is out there and just do something a certain way. Often, there are other ways to accomplish the same thing.
Also any chance you could summarize the video for us that are at work or can't watch?
3) Too many patents are issued for obvious changes. To keep the post small, the Prilosec/Nexium would be a good example to consider here. If both forms of the drug are the same, then it is obvious that just one would perform well.
You are so mentally deficient I can barely stand to reply, but here goes. I wasn't making a judgment about the validity of your patent. My point was that all it would take is for a patent troll with a somewhat similar patent in their portfolio of thousands of patents to decide they want to take you down and there's likely nothing you can do about it unless you have a warchest of money set aside for multi-year patent battles.

I was in the Army you worm.
Harvey, typical "liberal."
All about freedom until someone disagrees with him.
What a waste of oxygen you are.

LOL, Harvey didn't get it the first time you said it, you obviously wasted your time spelling it out for him based on his last reply. You are a master at exposing that moron's self-inflicted stupidity.
Hey Harvey, there's an active thread about Obama wanting to expand warrantless wiretapping, why not drop on by and post up a macro or bellow something about him wiping his ass with the constitution or something.......Wait, I know the answer to that.
Meanwhile, you're a mindless wingnut droid who couldn't comprehend minor issues like the fact that IP rights have been guaranteed to every American citizen by the U.S. Consitution since day 1. It didn't take even one amendment to get to it. In other words, a lot of people a lot smarter than a moron like you figured it out far before you disgraced humanity with your presence.
