[QUOTE="Per Søvik, post: 115984, member: 1285"] Re: Copyright, Patent, General Intellectual Property Discussion I guess that in many ways, having a patent is about as good as a pedestrian having right of way in a zebra crossing, fine in theory but rather useless if someone ignores it. I remember that there was a belief earlier that once China became a meber of the WTO and signed the international treaties regarding copyright and patent some twenty years ago, we would soon have a system of global patents and copyrights that everybody would respect, but that hasn't happened as far as I can tell. It is my understanding that international or world wide patents are so expensive that only the drug manufacturers bothers with them. [/QUOTE]
