Patent

Patentada y todo, ¿no?

Sí.

Que no salías a tu-- a visitar con tus amigos, a rumbear con tus amigos.

And this has been a little while ago, but the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously changed the law to say, now, that's not fair to have defendants and plaintiffs have different standards for this.

It's just, was it unreasonable that you were there? And it really changed a lot of the dynamic for patent cases.

And the Octane Fitness case is something that Patent litigators talk about if there is a weak case being asserted against you, you can say, hey, look at Octane Fitness.

I might be able to get my fees back from you.

You know, it's clear I'm not infringing and shut that down early.

I know my gimmick.

I know what I'm supposed to do.

And that is to tell you guys to go to IPISC.com or PatentInsurance.com. Go to ProductQuickStart.com.

Yeah, because we've seen the catastrophic human cost of this.

During the height of the global AIDS crisis, Patent protections fiercely prevented the production and distribution of cheap, generic, life-saving antiretroviral medicines in the global south, which resulted in immense preventable loss of life.

And the overreach of the patent system extends far beyond medicine, deep into agriculture, resulting in what is termed biopiracy.

Stricter rules on originality are required to stop multinational agribusiness corporations from patenting natural seeds, plants, and genetic materials.

The first one is C-O-U-N-T space F-E-R-D-I-N-A-N-D space V-O-N space Z-E-P-P-E-L-I-N.

The second one is P-A-T-E-N-T-E-D.

The third one is N-A-V-I-G-A-B-L-E space B-A-L-L-O-O-N.

The fourth one G-E-R-M-A-N space G-E-N-E-R-A-L.

before and now is different? Well, and it's also the evolution of tech transfer because there've been a metrics.

And again, I think it's just the nature of the beast of, when you look at everything I just described from number of invention disclosures, Patents issued, patents received, startup formation.

You see where there's groups that will be like, all right, we'll provide seed money to startups.

That's a metric.
