I would like to see one transfer. It would have to be worded just right, but just one transfer.
The reason I call for one transfer is patenting someting is a big deal(financially) for a poor person. The fees are too high. (I actually contacted the patent office in the US a few years ago, and questioned their fees. They came back with we give a slight break to micro-businesses, or someting like that? It was not low enough for my budget.)
My point is a rich entity can patent a fart sound, and the cost is a two person corporate lunch. And that's why they patent everything?
I would like to see patents/trademarks costs go up in cost exponentially. Example, first patent $1000 dollar fee. Tenth patent $50,000? I would like to see the cost tied to income level, maybe even gross?
A poor entity, even if they fill out the paperwork themselfs; the cost of a patent is high. Especially when you have file multiple patents in order to protect your idea. That person should be able to profit on his/her idea? That person should be able to afford to protect their idea. So many poor people can't afford those patent fees--
In all reality, I would like to see patent/trademark fees lowered for poor entities. (If the entity sends in sloppy paperwork; you can make that poor person pay what a rich person pays. This would prevent abuse of the system?)
