SWPAT: Baker McKenzie - Patente sind Angriffswaffen-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- "People are pooling and accumulating patents so that they can cross license with other players and make it harder for the little guys," "It's a rich player's business. If you don't have any patents, you don't have any weapons in your armoury." Und auch auf der anderen Seite des Globus, ist es am schlimmsten mit Patenten auf Software: "However, the [patent] examination process is imperfect, particularly with IT space. You don't have that higher art that has been built up into the older industries such as big pharma or mining industries, against which the novelty or inventiveness of the patents can be judged." Bob Kemp, dessen Firma Patentrecherchen durchführt, demaskiert das Märchen des Erfinderschutzes, am Beispiel von Waschmaschinenbauteilen. Patente werden für Bauteile eingereicht, die niemals gebaut werden. Der Sinn: Einen Marktbereich "sauber" zu halten. "General Electric have hundreds and hundreds of patents on [diaphragm] valves. Most have never been made and I suspect they never intended to make them. What they've done is create a sterile area that noone else can play in." http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/business/0,39023166,39165409,00.htm - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Bernhard Mayer published on: 2004-11-04 comments to [email protected] subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
