When some of those incentives are so preposterous as <a href="http://gizmodo.com/prisoners-in-china-can-get-out-of-jail-early-by-patent-1683159871" rel="nofollow">criminal sentence reductions for "inventors"</a>, filing statistics should really be taken with several barrowloads of salt.<br /><br />By the way, this criticism also applies to the incentive schemes used in a number of Western countries, and in particular to the tax "patent boxes" that help many multinationals, in particular in the pharmaceutical sector, significantly reduce their tax bills. Not only are those schemes ripe for abuse, but the 20-year monopoly granted by a patent should already be more than enough incentive, without adding additional state-granted sweeteners to the deal...Glad to be out of the madhousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-28043135045437232952017-01-12T12:46:49.524+00:002017-01-12T12:46:49.524+00:00Great sum up.

It is the fact that many chinese applications end up granted with claims so long and detailed that one wonders how could they possibly be enforced or how can one assure that there is no infringement (the suppliers refuse to provide so high level of details to make checking possible). All those details apparently make them novel, but I highly doubt that they are inventive.

I spent a while working at Foxconn which was, at least for a while, ground-zero for the kind of massive filing of patents discussed in the article, and this piece reflects my experiences there.

Anything like Germany or Japan? Such a Statute can boost filing numbers enormously, especially when it decrees that ownership passes to the employee inventor if the employer fails to file its own patent application.MaxDreinoreply@blogger.com
