“Uh huh.

[Mitch Ives] “As for stifling competition, look at any country that has no patent or copyright protections… zero innovation. After all, what’s the point… it’ll only get stolen and you’ll be saddled with all the R&D costs.
“Mitch, I don’t think anyone is arguing that there shouldn’t be patents. I think everyone is simply aghast at how out of hand the system has become.

[David Lawrence] “[Bill Davis] “Uh,
In the first quote the subject is an IDEA.
In the second quote the subject is a PRODUCT.
Why is this a difficult concept to grasp?”
Wrong.
“Careful, now. You need to grasp–however difficult it might be–that Bill has a patent pending on the “condescending “Uh,…” and that he’s not afraid to use it.

[Michael Gissing] “Patent system “out of control”
Before the verdict an intellectual property professor at the University of California Hastings Law School, Robin Feldman, described the case as unmanageable for a jury.
“There are more than 100 pages of jury instructions,” Feldman said. “I don’t give that much reading to my law students. They can’t possible digest it.
“And the fact that they’ve found a number of serious errors in the judgement suggests that it might be vacated. Apparently there are places where they awarded millions to Apple for things that they decided were not infringements in other parts of the document.

[Michael Gissing] “PARC did much more than invent a mouse ‘concept’. They invented the actual mouse as well. It had three buttons. All Jobs did was make it cheap.”

[Michael Gissing] “You really should listen or read the transcript of the This American Life that Shane talked about Bill, because the problem is the companies using patents to block development and innovation. That is their primary business model and I am not talking about companies like Google or Apple because they are not necessarily the prime movers in this stifling use of patents.
“I second that. The This American Life piece was excellent journalism.
