From a laymans perspective they also don't seem to work. Apple's multitouch felt like something brand new to consumers and yet other device manufacturers copied it anyway. Facebook entire product line is dependent on ripping off competitors unique features. What's the point?
- tantalor 2mo agoI think the point is to prevent researchers from changing jobs. 1. Researcher makes something 2. Employer patents it using researcher's name 3. Researcher gets a new job 4. Researcher makes something at new job vaguely similar to #1 5. Old employer sues for patent violation By attaching their name to the patent, it is easy to prove they were aware of it.
