Why Patents Don't Stop People from Stealing Your Invention
- WheelsAtLarge 6y agoIntellectual property protection can be a two-edged sword. It can help you protect your ideas but it can also lock you into a fight that drains your resources. I remember reading that the wright brothers fought hard for years to protect some of their ideas without,ultimately, really getting a satisfactory result. They didn't get the windfall they wanted and ultimately delayed innovation in the field. A lose-lose situation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers_patent_war https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wright_brothers_patent_war
