There are limits to how far you can get by playing verbal tricks. You can call
independent invention "stealing IP" and try to persuade a court that
the world is one way and not another, and you can even get away with it for a
while, but reality has its own ideas and is likely to hit you in the teeth with
a brick at some point if you keep playing these games. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

I'm not buying it.
And, when it comes to digital computing, that's all it comes down to. A CPU is
nothing more than a glorified calculator.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Don't you even understand the law? It is not possible to "steal" IP.
Infringement is NOT STEALING. Stealing is the taking of something from its
rightful owner with the intent to deprive the rightful owner of the use of their
property. Infringment may be illegal, but it DOES NOT involve depriving the
owner of his copy. He still has it. Lodsys still has the patent. IT IS NOT
STEALING and I wish you pro-IP idiots would stop lying about it.
Egad. When this country was founded you could sit on your front porch and sing.
Now they scream "thief" if your cell phone plays two bars of a song
that was composed fifty years ago. This is insane!!!!![ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Please remember the US got a lot of its original economic impetus by ignoring
patents and copyrights from elsewhere in the world ...
Patents on rectangular surfaces with rounded corners and a screen capable of
being modified by finger pressure or stylus mounted symmetrically in the middle?
Sounds like my school slate.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

What are China's IP laws? What's the letter of those laws?
As I understand it China doesn't allow patents so if you don't want your
"IP" copied don't let it get to China.
You want to sell to that billion+ people? that's great but remember you can't
have it both ways since it is legal in china to copy products.

Patent
Copyright
Trademark
Trade Secret
All covered by different parts of the law. NONE in the US a
natural right (i.e. you have it no matter what), but instead
granted by statute in support of the Constitution "To
promote progress in the Sciences and Useful Arts." Most
subject to Civil, not Criminal, penalties.
Also if someone copies my patented/ trademarked/
copyrighted/ Trade Secret, I still have it.
Theft? No. Infringement - possibly.
