From the beginning the audience took a dim view of an aggregators’ claim of somehow being the “good guys” of the equation. <br /><br />What came forth, especially from Altitude Capital Partners, was that NPEs were protecting the legitimate rights of the inventors. Put forth was the possibility that individual inventors might have difficulties getting large corporate legal departments to recognize their flashes of genius. Altitude CP also put forth that the upper tier of NPEs do not assert without merit. <br /><br />The aggregators were seen to be in the same business, differing only in protecting the large corporations. In a sales presentation, the notion of good guys and bad guys might work, but in front of a room full of academics, and lawyers, it didn’t seem to fly very far.David Toyotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840095665316256262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6851300.post-55736857211960302612009-06-26T10:15:39.116-05:002009-06-26T10:15:39.116-05:00Is it really?

The difference is quite often, that the composer gave the orchestra the music, or else the orchestra wouldn't have the music, but the same can't be said about the "inventor" and the manufacturing corporation. It is (was? before KSR, bilski etc) all too often the case that the manufacturer would have come up with that idea after the inventor, or in fact did have that idea before the inventor filed. <br /><br />I'm not even sure about what protection we give architects, I guess copyright. <br /><br />6Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
