saveinventors Yesss!

saveinventors Dare Obasanjo🐀 Jon Erlichman This seems how mega-corporations survive:

• Growth via Acquisitions
• Capture & Kill Strategy
• Monopolize Distribution

I guess another angle is:

• A combination of the (3)^ while they work on their own 'IP'

What say you?

Fix patents to give inventors more upside !

saveinventors Alec Stapp Could you elaborate? Which reforms would you undo?

They ain’t innovators - they are allocators of capital

ne c'est past The New York Independent Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ BS Honda bailed out HD in the 1980s - literally - & got IP to build similar bikes -HD is bigger in sales than Honda, by a small amount - stop blaming the wrong people

Shoulda left the patent system alone: China won

saveinventors Michael Warburton That’s not what Hedy Lamar’s biography says. That’s all i can say

When IP is unenforceable, for any number of reasons, this is how monopolistic behavior looks

saveinventors @LuddyHarrison dwayne woods Joel Atkinson 'patents got stronger in China' *citation missing

Well, the comparison is to innovation & IP attorneys & agents. When monopolies decide to lobby & litigate - innovation doesn’t matter - that’s the key metric - they spend more on legal invalidating & intimidating actual inventors & innovators

Green AI it is.

With a strong patent system, we used to have this, or something close, the U.S., Japanese, Koreans & EU filed their patents bc the U.S. provided stable & predictable markets

Gary Marcus saveinventors Yann LeCun There’s no logical limit to the kind of general solution a net can stumble upon to achieve a statistical result. Nets aren’t limited to juggling statistics internally.

saveinventors Giancarlo Sopo Kurt Schlichter Rebecca Spang Exactly. He developed skills in an apprentice-style environment and changed the world—before we spent $12K per student (on average). A foreman in a factory took the young man under his wing and fostered Westinghouse's curiosity and drive.

saveinventors Pedro Domingos Yes, yes it is. Life expectancy lags behind a few decades, but in the end it always follows money.

Matt Stoller Another reason patents are better incentives than prizes
