US China Negotiations on Intellectual Property is a Complete Joke - You Heard it From Me
Our think tank which operates online talks a lot about the future of the United States and our ability to innovate, actually to out innovate the rest of the world.
Some say that we are falling behind, and they point to places like China which has graduated more engineers and scientists, mathematicians and such than we have.
India is quite the same, and whereas our top colleges and universities in the sciences might be better today, they hardly will be tomorrow because we are teaching them everything we know, and they will have the resources and money due to unbalanced trade deficits of United States citizens and companies buying from them to better fund their education infrastructure.
In this case we will not remain at the top of the food chain as far as innovation and creativity, entrepreneurship and research.
All this is probably inevitable, but there's something that really bothers me when I discuss this topic with others.
And that is the amount of industrial espionage, military spying, and corporate intellectual capital theft going on in other countries.
Today Microsoft is looking into legal action against China, and Google is doing the same in India.
The entire European Union is concerned about it, and so am I.
A recent article on this topic and realize there have been 1,000s over the years in the mainstream media and business news, was posted online at IDG News on October 20, 2010 by Michael Kan entitled; "US Working with China on Intellectual Property Rights - US Attorney General Eric Incompetent Holder Meets with Counterparts in China to Discuss Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement" was quite telling, especially the final sentence, which was a quote from Christian Murck, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in China; "I think the penalties are still too low and the chances of being caught are too low to deter (intellectual property rights) infringement," he said of China's policies.
"But we are making progress.
" Of all the nonsense I've ever heard this is outrageous, you see these issues have been going on for 20-years.
You see, talk is cheap, and if we don't do something serious about this we may as well stop funding research in the United States, as we are merely doing all the researching for China because they are going to steal it anyway.
It seems that we are funding the research for other nations, and we have no real ability to keep these technological advances secret, especially in this day where collaboration and the Internet is helping increase innovation research.
The reality is we want to share our technology with the world, but we need to get paid back for our investment, and if our intellectual property is stolen, there is no return on investment for that research, nor should the taxpayer have to fund the bill.
In reality those countries that steal our technology should be funding our research, not the other way around.
Something must be done, and something soon, we don't have time to wait on this, as the article suggested.
Please consider all this.
