Ixthusdan Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 As far as I am concerned, such things as patent law should never violate the soveriegnty of another country. Murder, theft, and terrorism are different. But the pr in the us is actually comparing patent violaters to terrorists! It's ridiculous! I also think that people say anything and everything. But, like sco, when it comes down to it, what can they actually do? Microbrians can only do to you what England allows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero0w Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Reading at Ars-Technica I discovered this interesting article, not that I believe all the points the author raised are valid, but it does propose the increasing unmanageability of patent and also the skewed of interest over to corporation against independent / individual inventors - but there's a catch: the author never thought of those patent which might have hurt public interest (vs foreign/corporate interest) in case when junk patent was filed and got allowed - and how to rectify such problems, nor has he discussed what can/cannot be patented at all: http://reactor-core.org/patent-wars.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkelve Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 Maybe I'll say something useful for once: The patent vote in Europe is *delayed* again: http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/34244.html Only this time, the delay looks *bad* for us!

tyme Posted November 28, 2003 Report Share Posted November 28, 2003 I've done my best to split a large section of this thread off, since it had gone off-topic. You'll find it here: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtopic=9876 I did what I could to find the start of the off-topic-ness and split it from there on out, leaving on-topic stuff here.
