Just start with the Claims and go from there. You must literally infringe every single word (that's why patent Claims seem so awkwardly worded). Simply not do ANY ONE OF THE following: > "series of episodes" So a single episode and y

Given your example of cell phones, there's a lot more costs to bringing a new type of cell phone to market than the ~$50k on patent searches. Since we're talking about driving innovation, someone who genuinely advances the technology is abl

Except advancement of western civilization was much more due to technological innovations than 'gaming IP laws'.

1) Where is the evidence of the opposite? The data is overwhelmingly. 2) U.S. is certainly in the top tier of strongest patent laws.

IP laws not only thing holding them back. But it ain't helping either. No incentive to spend resources (be they $money, or time inventing).

About as hard to prove direct correlation as for you to prove the opposite. However, use common sense. The data is overwhelmingly in my favor.

from the article: "In countries without patent laws, inventors depend entirely on secrecy, lead time, and other alternatives to patents in protecting their intellectual property." This has been shown time and again, remove patents

That's assuming the article is right, but a look around the world shows the opposite - generally speaking the stronger the patent rights, the stronger the innovation. Weak IP African countries vs strong IP in American, European, Japan, Kor

Patents provide the incentive to invest in R&D by providing a form of guarantee on their investments. Generally speaking, the countries with the strongest patent rights produce many of the innovative companies.

Not really, 1) Google wants into mobile more than Apple wants into search or ads, and 2) Apple has more mobile patents.

China's idea of stepping up IP enforcement is case-by-case. Read: however it benefits the Chinese company vs the foreigner. Also useful to note their increase is mainly quantity. Superficial.

I see, "troll" because I don't conform to your opinion. What is this, slashdot? > Try asking it to prove that the economic prosperity is caused by the patent system rather than merely correlated. About as provable as the opposite.

China's relative recent rise is predicated on copying - not innovating. As patent rights are weakened, investors are increasingly reluctant to invest in $costly American R&D that can just be copied at a fraction of the R&D $cost. P

economies of countries with patent rights exceed economies without patents. And at the top is the U.S.A. with strongest patent rights.

which element do you want me to support?: 1) R&D costs money 2) investors look for return on their investment 3) corporations continuously look to reduce costs Perhaps it is you who is continuing the echo chamber.

R&D costs money, and lots of it. So in the end, patents provided the incentive to innovate and $spend on R&D in America, and now free for all to copy. Without patents, smart investors will start to look at where they can most cheap

Provide incentives to publish innovations instead of trade secrets. Allow others to stand on shoulders of giants.

You won't be able to create an exception for software not to be patentable. It's over, get used to it and move on.
