Once they started trolling, they stopped making planes, it was only after the patents expired and the founders left the business and they merged with curtis and a rational patent pooling system emerged that US aviation surged ahead. Radio was much the same, and they eventually used pools in the same way.
I am not sure if the USA can repair their system, as it feeds and sustains a huge swarm of parasites, much like the US medical system
- bombcar 3y agoThis basic same scenario is currently happening with SawStop safety saws, but at least SawStop is manufacturing saws.
- aurizon 3y agoI see, they are trying to force a lot of shops/schools to buy them - they are $500-800 more than comparable risky saws. I wonder if they will try for it on hand held rotary saws? Hopefully an alternate method will emerge. Even if I had one, I would never use it as I practice great care anyway.
- AlbertCory 3y agoNot only that, but you destroy a part if it actually deploys. More $$$. A pair of Kevlar gloves is $20 or so.
- AlbertCory 3y agoI guess "troll" as a verb is pretty common usage now. As a "noun" -- no. The polite term is "Non-Practicing Entity" (not that I want to be polite) but it shows that we still need to distinguish between companies that, at least once, practiced the patent; and shell companies which have never done anything but sue.
