Reinventing Invention
Patents are part of our national identity. Yet, we are in the process of turning this national treasure into something akin to fast food.
This book asks questions:
- Where will the value of the patent lie?
- What will be the use of the vast war chests of patents that corporations have assembled?
- What happens when an industry becomes so patent-strapped that the fear of having to pay one or more giant patent holders discourages new growth?
- What sort of backlash could arise, and what would the cost be to corporations inevitably labeled as the bullies?
