Do Intellectual Property Laws Promote Corporate Greed
As technology continues to grow, so will Intellectual Property or IP. IP has become a major topic of interest in the music, gaming, and marketing sectors of business. The reason this has become such an issue involves the patenting of one’s ideas. The laws being passed are attempting to protect the property owner while still allowing corporations to maintain profitability throughout the process. This is creating quite a stir in the business world. If you look at the laws currently in place, the short answer is no.I found some more information here. These laws do not promote greed within the IP world. In fact, the only time you see IP being abused is when the individual disagrees with the company and attempts to abandon the agreed contract. To avoid this issue a person that feels the IP is not being honored properly, should not enter into the contract. From one perspective it would appear greed from both sides caused the dissolution. One party wishes to lease to IP for major profits and the corporate party wishes to control the IP for as long as it remains profitable. Regardless, it is not the laws that actually create the greed; the people involved do that to themselves.
