Anti-competitive patenting thoughts of David Dull, Broadcom.

Message 23368293

No doubt patents and competition go hand-in-hand and I agree whole heartedly with all your comments. There is and always will be a fine line between milking one's dairy cow and using crown land to fatten up one's beef herd. As you implied some may, I see those matters more as adjunct issues rather than a direct outcome of the patenting process.

The telecommunications industry is particularly impacted by patenting and joint development initiatives because of the need for technical standardization. Throw globalization into that pot and it is amazing that the developed swampland even looks like Disneyland. Without intervention, markets are more than adequate for determining the size and cutting up of the economic pie. Isn't a market just the culmination of innovation, product development and service provision?

The push and pull of pie cutting and baking bigger pies is an ongoing saga.

Simple is never easy.
