Any concrete examples?
I’ve always wondered how a company that fully controls its tech and can leave a country at anytime can be “forced” to transfer its core tech. From what I’ve seen, what gets transferred is usually older, commoditized or even out dated tech because it’s profitable to license.
Yes, copying happens. But I would call it as a common pattern in developing markets: entrepreneurs imitate to get a foothold, then iterate. It’s messy, but it’s also how a lot of industries bootstrap.
