Yeah they patented some parts of DNA and there was a huge debate over it but that patent is almost expired now so the whole debate eventually becomes irrelevant.
It's worth it.
- billytetrud 6y agoAs long as they expire in reasonable time, unlike a certain mouse...
- neonological 6y agoMickey Mouse is obviously a loophole. The purpose of the law was not made to do this and the time limits are not unreasonable. The problem you bring up is not a problem with the concept of IP. It is the problem of the exploitation of loop holes by lawyers and entities with enough money to pay these lawyers. It’s in the same class of problems as tax loopholes. You can’t ban the concept of tax simply because there are loopholes. Not saying loopholes aren’t an issue. I’m just saying Mickey Mouse is an argument against loopholes, he is not an argument against the intent and purpose of Ip law in the US.
- billytetrud 6y agoYes I agree.
