I also which that writers covering IP waiver stop taking the shortcut to refer to the waiver attempt as (merely) “Patent waiver.”
The patent portion is NOT “the game.”
A shortcut which does of course better fit the more easily grasped and understood, “but they’re just some patents; and it’s just this one time” narrative.
I have to disagree Pro Say.
ANY narrative focusing on patents misses the real game afoot.
It simply is NOT a narrative of “just some some patents” that is in play here.
“Getting” just some patents solves nothing. The “just some patents” is a FALSE narrative.
anon, my friend, I’m agreeing with you. I’m saying that the supporters of taking away others’ IP are purposefully (or without knowing) collapsing (gisting) what they want to just patents.
Ah – thanks, I was receiving a different message.
Attorney Woessner’s view (chem, bio, pharma) IS very much a part of the problem with even those (especially those) in the patent world not understanding that patent protection is MEANT to protect innovation and that innovation simply has moved into the Kondratiev Fifth Wave.
It’s an embarrassment to the profession.
