Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is really political. No american company was banned for losing a lawsuit related to patent violations. Normally companies just have to pay money for violations
No, this is just a really stupid headline. The ITC is specifically a body that bars products found to be infringing from importation into the US market. It cannot allow award damages but the bar can be circumvent by a deal with the patent owner. This is literally the function of this particular body.
It's not like China stealing tech wasn't their modus operandi for decades. This is just more of the same.
Now BOE just needs to sell the technology to their completely independent wholly owned subsidiary, COE....
They’ll manufacture and relabel the products like most big corps
What’s that shell game where you guess where the ball is. Same same but with paper companies and a factory
China's complete disregard for payments is bad...
But so is the American patent system, due to lobbyist from giant corporations like Disney essentially writing our patent laws.
The best answer is shorter term patents, it's not only a choice between the two existing systems.
Not that I don't agree with your sentiment, but patents (technical methods to build machines, do stuff, etc.) are different from copyright (stories, characters, etc.. the one Disney has exploited for decades).
Copyright and patent laws need to die.
To think otherwise is to be a useful idiot, which is the norm.
Copyright and patent laws need to die.
If you're cheering for this, than you're a useful idiot who now has to pay higher prices for the same product.
The whole idea of intellectual property is bonkers. Imagine charging people for hearing your voice, that's the logical conclusion of monetizing intellectual property.
Capitalism needs to die.
While this is I think a win for IP law, I think the entire IP system is long overdue for an overhaul.
Get rid of the entire thing.
If you can't protect your own ideas, you shouldn't have billions of dollars of taxpayer resources to protect them for you.
All the resources wasted enforcing copyright and patent laws, which themselves exist solely to increase the price useful idiots have to pay, could be spent doing anything else that is actually beneficial for us.
Anyone who honestly believes that necessary work wouldn't get done without copyright and patent laws is a moron going to bat for people richer than him. It's unfortunately the default state for most of us at this point.
I spent 2 years perfecting this method, now I'm next to broke, how do I make use of my invention to make money if some rich mass manufacturing company can come and simply copy my design?

No you didn't.

You mean how do you get a monopoly on an idea so you can be another piece of shit taking advantage of morons who don't know any better? I'm sure the useful idiots would be glad to give you tips on how to fuck them over so they can live vicariously through you while working service jobs. Watch.

You seem to be quick to deny the amount of effort needed to invent something new that is actually useful.
What would your say should then be the main motivator for anyone to invest the (however much you think might be needed) effort needed to invent something new and useful?
if you remove money from the equation, would you do the same thing you're doing right now?
Necessity is the mother of invention. Not money. Money is just the necessity RIGHT now because the leaders you elect are only interested in themselves just like you are. If people bothered to rise up above their base desires we can do more than say "toil all your life or die".
Do you really feel like all the advancements of the past 200 or so years have made our daily lives easier?
Ah, that's what you were getting at. Yes. Of course I'm right there with you to seize the means of production.
But after that's done, I'm quitting rnd and going home to subsist on my monthly ration of 5m long baguettes and 20L jars of mustard. Someone else can work in the dangerous chem lab. If they want to.
Also, yes. In the past 200 years, inventions borne from the motivations of capitalism have brought us indoor plumbing and refrigeration. If you feel that these are meaningless, I invite you to go without it for just a day.
Actually, indoor plumbing has had a long history, so perhaps to be specific: the flushing toilet.
Also I could do with refrigeration for a day. Perhaps the microwave?
I'm not even sure why I'm debating with you - I'm against patents just as much, if not more. But short of a much better 'don't even need to think about it' alternative, the dilapidated patent system is still necessary (amongst other methods of IP protection) in this capitalism driven world.
Now do Huawei.
