this is exactly what the large corporations want you to believe. Without patent protection, the small or independent coder has one less piece of proprietary. Larger corporations, w…

hmmm, so I looked into this whole Rackspace vs Parallel Iron that this stems from and learned this: 1) Parallel Iron is a company that isn't a shell company but owned by the lead i…

You've made 2 wrong assumptions: 1) data structures are patentable. Where is your proof that pure data structure not tied to hardware or a specific problem are? 2) independent inve…

did you not see the "compilation file" elements?

Just start with the Claims and go from there. You must literally infringe every single word (that's why patent Claims seem so awkwardly worded). Simply not do ANY ONE OF THE follow…

Given your example of cell phones, there's a lot more costs to bringing a new type of cell phone to market than the ~$50k on patent searches. Since we're talking about driving inno…

Except advancement of western civilization was much more due to technological innovations than 'gaming IP laws'.

1) Where is the evidence of the opposite? The data is overwhelmingly. 2) U.S. is certainly in the top tier of strongest patent laws.

IP laws not only thing holding them back. But it ain't helping either. No incentive to spend resources (be they $money, or time inventing).

About as hard to prove direct correlation as for you to prove the opposite. However, use common sense. The data is overwhelmingly in my favor.

That's a cop-out given the abundance of search tools, regexp, CTRL-F, etc...

not so long ago (few hundred years) the new world (America) was behind African infrastructure and yet pulled itself up.

from the article: "In countries without patent laws, inventors depend entirely on secrecy, lead time, and other alternatives to patents in protecting their intellectual property." …

That's assuming the article is right, but a look around the world shows the opposite - generally speaking the stronger the patent rights, the stronger the innovation. Weak IP Afric…

Patents provide the incentive to invest in R&D by providing a form of guarantee on their investments. Generally speaking, the countries with the strongest patent rights produce man…

Not really, 1) Google wants into mobile more than Apple wants into search or ads, and 2) Apple has more mobile patents.

events from the past couple of years have changed all of that. These numbers support that.

Google more than Apple is a sign of things to come.

sure, and now China is repeating history.

China's idea of stepping up IP enforcement is case-by-case. Read: however it benefits the Chinese company vs the foreigner. Also useful to note their increase is mainly quantity. S…

I see, "troll" because I don't conform to your opinion. What is this, slashdot? > Try asking it to prove that the economic prosperity is caused by the patent system rather than mer…

China's relative recent rise is predicated on copying - not innovating. As patent rights are weakened, investors are increasingly reluctant to invest in $costly American R&D that c…

economies of countries with patent rights exceed economies without patents. And at the top is the U.S.A. with strongest patent rights.

biggest != technical innovation Quake 1 had better graphics and editors eons ago

which element do you want me to support?: 1) R&D costs money 2) investors look for return on their investment 3) corporations continuously look to reduce costs Perhaps it is you wh…
