Letter to the editor: Legal framework broken (Teck Phen, IntoTest)
(08/14/2007 11:35 AM EDT) -- EETimes
I received a plethora of e-mails regarding my recent article, entitled "Semi IP sector is a lost cause"
Then, I asked for the IP vendors themselves to respond to a set of questions. Here's one letter to the editor:
The existing legal framework for IP, especially with regards to the patents law, is not conducive for sharing of IPs. And the clearest pointer to this problem, referring to US Patent office website, is that patent right is define as a right to prevent others to use. With this in mind, especially big business, many patents are being frivolous filed for the purpose of business competitive edge with the sole objective of usage to stop potential competition to ensure business monopoly.
