Most of that is crooked Americans selling the tech to China. The actual thieves are American. Likewise, those cars that get shipped overseas were likely stolen by an American trying to make a buck. Good Grief? You almost said Technology theft by China is done by Americans. OH WAIT!! You did say that. And now I wonder what your defense will be when someone accurately accuses you of being a shill for China? An American made me do it?? 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, every nation that matters was part of the standard rubber stamping... That is all it is, a set of standards. Nothing fancy about it. Everyone can build to the standard. Whether your nation communication companies chooses to build to 5G is another matter. 2) Patent applications do not equal patents nor do they equal patents which create $ needing protecting. Likewise almost no research is being done in the patent award process for duplicity anymore and has not been present going on 20 years now. Started In the 90's they tried, but with the influx of the computer "patents" via sofftware, everyone has just given up and now it bled to the hardware side of manufacturing and if you go on to USPTO.gov and pick any patent (domestic or international)or nearly any patent, and then search for like minded terms, I guarantee you will find identical patents with identical claims. Look up stink free toilets would be a great example... Been patented well over 100 times yet patents keep being awarded for the same thing via the simple solution of putting a fan attached to the toilet in some fashion. Want another example? Batteries have gobs of patents... pick a specific battery chemistry type or sub type yet they all use exactly the same chemistry and internal structure yet the patents are being awarded... it is insane. 2a) Most patents today are absurd jokes... colors, shapes of icons etc in the computing world. Those are not patents at all, not to mention you change one pixel and patent is invalid or one line of code to do it slightly different. Now add that patent violation is rampant around the world spearheaded by China, so why bother to file an international patent when you know it is $$$ down the shitter? Only reason; if you sell to nations which uphold common law and justice, then and ONLY then do you file an international patent. Otherwise you are wasting your money. Want to know who has the most number of absurd patents? Canon... They have more patents than anyone else in the world... 99% of which are nothing, Samsung is next and then some nameless Chinese company which does its electrical grid of CHINA!!!..... Name one thing they have actually invented... I'll wait... PS: Top patent filer from the USA with roughly half as many? IBM and they have been in business 3X as long. 2b) Japan/China are running patent houses who do nothing all day/week/month/year other than read patents as they are awarded and then try placing claims around the patent in question. Pick any patent, assuming you can find a base patent, and then do a search specific to Japan/China origin 1 year later and you will quickly learn that most "Japan/Chinese patents" are not patents at all, but trying to claim block the original patent owner.

Those people are globalists and socialists of all stripes. I doubt that the Canadians are much worse than the Americans. The most useful idiots are those who parrot the propaganda of big oil companies. A properly educated person understands that it is possible to survive without fossil fuels - after all, civilized human societies managed for thousands of years. However, it is not possible to survive without drinkable water, non-poisoned food and arable land. How about you think about it for a while instead of parroting your usual litanies about "socialists, greenies and globalists". If our children and their children will survive the environmental holocaust your "head-in-sand" generation brought upon them, it will be thanks to "greenies".

Unfortunately trade secrets are the way forward. In all fairness, Arthur C. Clarke invented the global positioning system. The US military ran with it once they got the satellites figured out, and they added "jitter" to the output signal so enemies couldn't use our tech against us. I even worked on chips to handle the jitter decades ago, and about the time we were going to release a product the US government gave up and removed the error inducing signal.

Most of them do not check the patent office and the patent office themselves do not check. See my stink free toilet example. Claims are verbattim equal on 10's of the patents going back to early 1900's. I use this example when teaching young engineers. Claims count, diagrams, description of patent does not and that is where MOST of the $$$ goes to the lawyers and it is 100% useless as they are SUPPOSED to be checking claims and previous claims. They check some and then give up as they are not paid by the hour as most are a flat fee... Higher costs pays by the hour and then what you get is WORD SALAD indecipherable by any human being all of which miss the basic patent claim as they word smith 6 trillion ways on same claim and STILL do not do the work of checking. WHY? That requires TIME, and an engineering mindset. Paying anyone to do this instead of doing it yourself is beyond stupid unless you think you can spend same amount of time working overtime to pay some idiot so called "patent lawyer" to do your work for you. PS: Using the USPTO.gov website is VERY easy. PPS: IF you have an actual GOOD patent, they will steal it anyways and count on the fact the court system will take forever or you will run out of $$$/patience and settle out of court. Meanwhile you are screwed and the fat cats come in and take it. Or you essentially fight court battles till the patent runs out. Court system is there for the lawyers and their judge buddies who used to be lawyers, not for the individual. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The federal government, through the operation of government-owned research facilities, research grants to universities and procurement contracts with private industry, funds almost 50% of the national R&D effort. Because of this enormous funding, the federal government has the most United States patent rights. It is estimated that the government has title to over 30,000 patents and annually files several thousand new applications. The government also has rights to nonexclusive, irrevocable, royalty-free licenses in thousands of patents. In addition, the government has a myriad of other patent rights. Examples include march-in rights, rights to require the owner to license others, rights to require licensing of background patents, rights to approve assignments, rights to limit terms of license agreements and reversionary ownership rights. https://www.tms.org/pubs/journals/JOM/matters/matters-9004.html#:~:text=Because of this enormous funding,files several thousand new applications.
