Where in the world can you escape this rent seeking?

- ipnon 6y agoChina's stereotype is having no copyright enforcement, but this seems to be wrong. >Plaintiffs won in 80.16% of all patent infringement cases included in the population. Such a win rate was higher than its counterparts in many major countries – Germany (approximately 66%) and the United States (approximately 60%), for example. https://patentlyo.com/patent/2018/02/things-infringement-litigation.html https://patentlyo.com/patent/2018/02/things-infringement-lit...

- ipnon 6y agoRead the reference and see that the win rate is higher for foreign plaintiffs than Chinese plaintiffs.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoThere's a lot of innovation going on by patent filing companies, which shows your claim to be false. Perhaps you intend to say it chills or hinders innovation - if so, do you have some statistical proof? My personal opinion, unrelated to my employment.
