Dave Rahardja<p>I hope countries around the world feel emboldened to repeal all the intellectual property laws that they adopted in hopes of trading with the US. None of it matters any more. It should be apparent now that US tariffs are getting applied RANDOMLY, to countries EVEN WHEN THEY COMPLY WITH ALL TRADE DEALS. I hope they do themselves a favor and free their societies from the shackles of US economic imperialism and innovate in a way that US companies cannot.</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/intellectualProperty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>intellectualProperty</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/copyright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>copyright</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/patents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>patents</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tariffs</span></a></p>

Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>This week I've been mainly reading, no. 214. </p><p>Nicola Griffith's novel of corporate control of intellectual property &amp; the owners' family intrigues is sort of sci-fi, but really Slow River (1995/2012) is a business thriller (both legitimate &amp; illegitimate businesses). Its a well written &amp; intriguing read, which has a number of reveals that work well.

Karsten Schmidt<p>Some people are dedicating their entire adult life to sharing ideas, knowledge and inspiration with others in the hope to bring forth a better world, others are dedicating their years to hoarding patents for every little "insight" (incl. brain farts) they ever had or been involved with, and then use this collection of accumulated "IP" as central/singular thesis to brag about on their website...</p><p>Case in point, the personal website of Humane AI's CEO:<br><a href="http://www.imranchaudhri.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="">imranchaudhri.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>🤯</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/Patents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Patents</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The rights we have in the offline world–to speak freely, create culture, play games, build new things and do business–must be available to us online, as well. This core belief drives EFF’s work to fight the misuse of the patent system. </p><p>Despite significant progress we’ve made over the last decade, patents, and in particular vague software patents, remain a serious threat to online rights. The median patent lawsuit isn't filed by what Americans would recognize as an ‘inventor,’ but by an anonymous limited liability company that provides no products or services, and instead uses patents to threaten others over alleged infringement. In other words, a patent troll. In the tech sector, more than 85% of patent lawsuits are filed by these “non-practicing entities.” </p><p>That’s why at EFF, we continue to help individuals and organizations fight patent threats related to everyday activities like using CAPTCHAs and picture menus, tracking packages or vehicles, teaching languages, holding online contests, or playing simple games online. </p><p>Here’s where the fight stands as we move into 2025."</p><p><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/12/fighting-progress-patents-2024-review" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eff.org/deeplinks/2024/12/figh</span><span class="invisible">ting-progress-patents-2024-review</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Patents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Patents</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PatentTrolls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PatentTrolls</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/IP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IP</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a></p>
