Companies who create don’t share their technology. We have patent rights for that.
Only good as enforcement.

It took more than 30 years, but this research underpinned the exploitation of shale resources that previously were considered irrecoverable, prompting the current US oil and gas boom. The last time I looked, the envirowackos and warmists who hate all that stuff are a higher priority than scientists.

Well, you are correct about that. But that isn’t an area which has been overlooked by our racist AG.

Patent law is an anachronism and a farce.

Too much regulation has suffocated US innovation.
Yup. There is a lot of blame to go around but ultimately it can be laid at the feet of a stifling and greedy government strangling the gold egg laying goose that is the profit driven private sector.

“Innovation” does not come from a research grant. Back off and get out of the creative people’s way.

Moving manufacturing outside the U.S., meant that R & D would soon follow. What nincompoop didn’t see this coming?
You know folks, the lack of innovation could cost us our naton.
When you enemies have the top R & D, sooner or later they’ll eat your lunch.

Livestock don’t innovate.
To: DoughtyOne
I’m sorry to say this, but America needs to change the way our businesses import everything.
America needs to make things in America again.
We need to stop importing everything, and we need to bring back American manufacturing. Now.

Just to be clear, my comment was aimed at the people in the article, not at you :)

I have read that China demands our tech information before they will allow us to manufacture a product in China.
If that’s true, the patent is meaningless. We have probably gifted China with about 70 years worth of information.
China hasn’t suddenly figured out everything we did over the last 70 years, in just a few years. We gave it to them.

I agree. You’ll get almost every free trade Capitalist to argue with you though.
We could be speaking Chinese with tanks in our streets, and those folk would claim they were right all along, and it was our fault this was happening.
Good luck...

Just saying:
2013 America > China goods: 122 Billion
2013 China > America goods: 440 Billion.
Trade deficit:
318 Billion.

Get rid of the cancer in the WH and things will start returning to normal. The fact that impeachment hearings weren’t underway 2 years ago tells me that we’ve been sold out by traitors

“Patent law is an anachronism and a farce.”
Trying to help a friend get a patent. Difficult and expensive. Certainly does not favor the “little guy,” but favors big companies, with deep pockets.

Nixon actually wuz the won who started to screw-up the gov’t funding of basic (real science) research.
