Interesting idea, but it seems to give even more power to the big guys, who can easily afford to pay the fee.

You can get a design patent on the look of icons, but not a (utility) patent. Despite the name, a design patent is very different thing from a (utility) patent, which is what people normally think of as a patent. In many ways it's better to

This is a surprisingly poor article for the FT. It confuses different types of IP legislation, and is full of unsupported assertions.

You don't buy a BMW. But: 1) You buy a local car because the foreign ones are all too expensive 2) BMW decides to build a plant in your country because it is so much cheaper. Both of those things help grow your economy, growth leads to a st

1) Cheap currency: "For German companies, the sinking euro acts as a kind of crisis buffer. While it reduces demand for German products within the euro zone, these make up only around 40 percent of the country's exports. But for the rest of

True, although it's interesting to note that Google is also an investor in IV. ( http://gametimeip.com/2011/05/19/the-intellectual-ventures-i... ). Not to say I agree with any of this, but I'm always wary of how the press frames "good" and

"I would argue however that that same locked-down culture is actual the logical outcome of the security ideal hackers promote." Why do you say that? It sounds like you're suggesting that "security through obscurity" is the logical end goal,

The Apple one doesn't really work, since the stores are primarily to sell their own products. Apple is an outlier when it comes to focus, though. But despite the fact that most of these companies do multiple things, it's clear where their c
