Dictators, Property Rights and the PTAB: Why the AIA Must be Repealed
For months people have questioned how the fortunes of inventors and startups may change as a result of who wins the presidency. Pundits have analyzed everything from lobbying money and political influence to grandparents and uncles to paint a picture of how each candidate might change the patent system. Now that Trump has won, the discussion has narrowed to whether Trump will keep patents weak or make patents great again. From the outside perspective, it is a curious exercise to say the least.I recently attended the IAM Patent Policy conference where Trump and his transition team were the main course of discussion examining threads into his past, the people that surround him, and any other facets of Trump that could shed light on the likelihood the USPTO will be pro-inventor or pro-big tech.
But I have to ask… why are we even asking these questions? That question doesn’t get asked for other types of property rights. Property is property, right? Can you remember an election where people were asking if their deed would keep squatters out of their living room depending on who won the presidency? I don’t. It seems a preposterous question. After all, the deed on your house is a property right and everybody knows the government will back it up and eject the squatters. So why then do we, or should we, have to ask whether a Trump Administration will be in favor of strong patent rights? It all seems bizarre to say the least.

8 年Trump was not my candidate, but he's a far cry better than Hillary. Since his win, I've watched and am encouraged that he will put America first, and I'm betting that means patent rights of American citizens as well. He is an innovator, and from the cabinet he's choosing, I believe he will stand by the protections of other innovators. You have a great point...property is property and should be protected as such. I pray he doesn't cave into a greedy globalist mindset that so many of our politicians in DC have embraced for their own self interests. Thanks for all you do for inventors Paul.

8 年about the fact that it exists dictators or persons with power without sciences and consciousness.There of course they must be stopped because they are dangerous simply and against this universalism.They are unconsciousness and their hormonal vanity does not arrange nothing of course like the taste of opulences.When I see the circus in syria, frankly I say me that still the hormons and ideologies imply still chaos.Always these business of arms and weapons and oils and gas .Wowww it is sad,the humanity is better than these things.But I am understanding also that we are arrived at a point where the disuasion also is main parameter permitting like in the theory of game of von Neumann and Nash a point of equilibrium.It is the relevance of the disuasion.These lobbies could utilise their engineerings and knowledges for this space.China, India, Europa Usa ....can do it.We are at a new era and this solar system and liberation of funds are foundamental towards the pojnts of equilibrium where all wins, nybody looses !!!

8 年It is a simple global moral obligation of all universalists seeing the globality, the whole.It is not a question of patent there but a question of logic and rationalism respecting our universal laws.We cannot reached these equilibriums with our actual global system.All looses at this moment and the future is very serious.It is not a question of business or this or that there but a moral question about universality and altruism.

8 年:) Hello Mr Morinvilles,I beleive that we are arrived at a new era.If the funds are liberated for this solar system,we can reach the points of equilibrium where all can find its place.The capitalization in this logic will permit to give jobs, water, energy,correct food to all.We have I beleive about 197 governments.The majority of these governments will be boosted.The lobbies shall win also, because for example the lobbies of oils and gas shall utilise theirproducts for this space and on earth they work withgovernments in irmpoving our planet in insisting on ecology and harmonisation of social interactions.In fact Mr Morinville,it is an obliged step of evolution where all wins.If it is not made, we shall add an ocean of chaotical exponentials in many centers ofinterest.
