This article sounds like bullshit and I am sure I could handle this without a lawyer in "administrative court". I filed 4 law suits in administrative courts in my country and won them all. I used a lawyer only once in another EU

I like that it is "primitive" It aims to answer the question, "What should I do after Duolingo?" It is based on https://tatoeba.org/en/ "I'm constantly surprised by these new SASS projects

SBIR is in my experience done by 1. Companies that made a business out of doing SBIR grants (I think the previous poster may have meant the same with SBIR farms). They write one grant after another and do some BS research, write reports and

You need to be very good looking (in pictures) to have success. I am a womanizer but not big in Tinder. I once used the Tinder of an ex girl friend (with her permission) and told her, I find one for you. She was okay looking but not super a

So? A tiny fraction. Of the one billion development cost, how much is early research, done in universities? You have no idea about this industry. Or for the noob: development costs are tiny compared to costs in clinical trials. There are so

This is wrong. It is correct for early stage. Compared with clinical trials, early stage costs nothing.

The USPTO checks for prior art. The result is not set in stone but if they don't find prior art then they grant the patent. The patent can then still be challenged in court by other companies.

No. Lets take the most extreme example. Medicine. Development and clinical trials cost you more than a billion. Why would I risk this? I let you develop it, I let you do the clinical trials and then just copy it. Even better. I can always s

Dude. I just submitted two patents. Patents are the only way a small company can get an edge. And yes, there is more than software and IT in this world. Good luck to raise non IT capital in tech without patents.

China. Well known. But regarding the other poster (comment got deleted): China has a higher average IQ than the US and 3 times the population. So more patents are not surprising in the end.

Yes, it may have advantages. But every advantage comes with disadvantages. Same with Uber, which is forbidden in Germany. Once you get used to Uber you wonder, how you were you able to ever live without it. Germany is a backward country. Di

"only 50% cut if something works," This is still very generous. I know salaries are very low for PhD students but it is still a generous offer. I think my US university was 1/3 Uni, 1/3 Prof, 1/3 PhDs. They even han

ROTFL. Yes. And I went there TWICE. And a f... drunken Viking broke my tent each time. Second time, there was a guy leaving, left his tent behind. I run after him and asked him if I can have his tent, since mine was broken. He said sure. Bu

Too big in capacity. My favorite backpack hat around 24l. I guess I could travel with this pack for 10 years. This gives you an Idea. (no tent of cause) There was a EU based, tiny equipment manufacturer that actually produced backpacks for

The one that suites your needs. There is no best tent. There are only your requirements and how much you want to spent. I have done well with throw away tents. Be on a festival during my trip, trash the tent, keep traveling without unnecess

There is no best car, hence there is no best backpack. As a rule of thumb: It is easy to buy a backpack that is too big. It is nearly impossible to buy one that is too small. The experience of a traveler is in an anti-proportional relations

Interesting. But I often travel, only have the need for a tent for a few days and buy a "throw-away"-tent. And trust me, drunken vikings (speak Iceland) are pretty good in breaking your tent.
