Title: [2015-09-25] Medium: How We Think About Patents At Coinbase Post by: LiteCoinGuy on September 25, 2015, 10:10:03 AM How We Think About Patents At Coinbase
There have been a few articles in the past week commenting on Coinbase filing for patents. I thought it might be helpful to give some context about how we think about patents. https://medium.com/@barmstrong/how-we-think-about-patents-at-coinbase-26d82b68e7db Title: Re: [2015-09-25] Medium: How We Think About Patents At Coinbase Post by: TraderTimm on September 25, 2015, 04:20:34 PM Brian is just another entry in the "empty suit" school of business ethics.
He filed first because "they're agile"? Riiiight. In the same article he says that patent filings increase company value, which is clearly the goal here. He'll "look into" open-sourcing the patents if awarded? Riiiight, there's nothing legally that would compel them if they actually get these patents. All I'm seeing here is a mealy-mouthed economist/CEO playing soothsayer so people won't roast his company alive at the stake. Coinbase, you can take your patent applications and shove them up your anglo-saxon ass. |
