Time to fix patents
Keywords:
Tags:
This editorial says the patent system has become too costly and a hurdle to companies trying to make innovations. The "non-obvious" nature needs to be enforced, says The Economist- so that Amazon's one click or the Apple patent on rectangular patents with rounded corners should not be given. Google's patent in 1998 on ranking websites by numbers of users and sites linking to it, is cited as an example allowing companies to build a monopoly using a key element for presenting search results.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
