Patent Quotes

Silicon Valley benefits, as all of industry, from highly protectionist policy - patent policies and things like that - which come out of the government Picture Quote #1

Great minds don’t think alike. If they did, the Patent Office would only have about fifty inventions Picture Quote #1

I wish I could put a patent on that thing. That was so straight I had to lean over sideways to see the flag! Picture Quote #1

If people had understood how patents would be granted when most of today's ideas were invented, and had taken out patents, the industry would be at a complete standstill today. The solution to this is patent exchanges with large companies and patenting as much as we can Picture Quote #1

This is the patent age of new inventions for killing bodies, and for saving souls. All propagated with the best intentions Picture Quote #1

The human body is a magazine of inventions, the patent office, where are the models from which every hint is taken. All the tools and engines on Earth are only extensions of it's limbs and senses Picture Quote #1

The bulk of all patents are crap. Spending time reading them is stupid. It's up to the patent owner to do so, and to enforce them Picture Quote #1

I always recommend, if you can, to patent or protect whatever your idea is. If you can’t, you have to make your best judgment. Sometimes people don’t get anywhere because they sit on something, so afraid to reveal it. And yet, in the reverse, sometimes if you expose something too widely, you can risk losing it Picture Quote #1

With their souls of patent leather, they come down the road. Hunched and nocturnal, where they breathe they impose, silence of dark rubber, and fear of fine sand Picture Quote #1

The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying Picture Quote #1

Except in very narrow cases, where there’s breakthrough science that needs patent production, worrying about competitors is a waste of time. If you can’t out iterate someone who is trying to copy you, you’re toast anyway Picture Quote #1

Workers must root out the idea that by keeping the results of their labors to themselves a fortune will be assured to them. Patent fees are so much wasted money. The flying machine of the future will not be born fully fledged and capable of a flight for 1,000 miles or so. Like everything else it must be evolved gradually. The first difficulty is to get a thing that will fly at all. When this is made, a full description should be published as an aid to others. Excellence of design and workmanship will always defy competition Picture Quote #1

Copies have been dethroned; the economic model built on them is collapsing. In a regime of superabundant free copies, copies are no longer the basis of wealth. Now relationships, links, connections, and sharing are. Value has shifted away from a copy toward the many ways to recall, annotate, personalize, edit, authenticate, display, mark, transfer, and engage a work. Art is a conversation, not a patent office. The citation of sources belongs to the realms of journalism and scholarship, not art. Reality can’t be copyrighted Picture Quote #1

Don’t stop at the first no. You have to be a risk taker. If there weren’t room for creativity, the patent office would close down Picture Quote #1

A man has a very insecure tenure of a property which another can carry away with his eyes. A few months reduced me to the cruel necessity either of destroying my machine, or of giving it to the public. To destroy it, I could not think of; to give up that for which I had laboured so long, was cruel. I had no patent, nor the means of purchasing one. In preference to destroying, I gave it to the public Picture Quote #1

I’ve never filed a patent lawsuit. I hope never to file a patent lawsuit. That may be unrealistic, but it would be great if I could avoid doing it... Lawsuits are a ridiculous way to do business Picture Quote #1

I would have had my patent long, long ago, and it would have run out long, long ago. I would have made, maybe, $100.000, much less that the patent has brought me now Picture Quote #1

Food is the very heart of freedom. How can people be free if they can’t feed themselves without getting sued for patent violations? Picture Quote #1

My aim is: to teach you to pass from a piece of disguised nonsense to something that is patent nonsense Picture Quote #1

While the proximate ground of discrimination may be of another kind, still the pervading principle and abiding test of good breeding is the requirement of a substantial and patent waste of time Picture Quote #1

To tell you the truth although it would put £500 in my pockets to specify my own patent rails, I cannot do so after the experience I have had Picture Quote #1

A country without a patent office and good patent laws is just a crab, and can’t travel any way but sideways and backways Picture Quote #1

One reason I never patent my products is that if I did it would take so much time, I would get nothing else done. But mainly I don’t want my discoveries to benefit specific favored persons Picture Quote #1

We think we have solved the mystery of creation. Maybe we should patent the universe and charge everyone royalties for their existence Picture Quote #1

Probably the last man who knew how it worked had been tortured to death years before. Or as soon as it was installed. Killing the creator was a traditional method of patent protection Picture Quote #1

I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them Picture Quote #1

We have no patent on anything we do and anything we do can be copied by anyone else. But you can’t copy the heart and the soul and the conscience of the company Picture Quote #1

Man must learn to rely upon himself. Reading bibles will not protect him from the blasts of winter, but houses, fires. and clothing will. To prevent famine, one plow is worth a million sermons, and even patent medicines will cure more diseases than all the prayers uttered since the beginning of the world Picture Quote #1

... These healers... my intellect has been unable to assimilate their theories... But their facts are patent and startling; and anything that interferes with the multiplication of such facts, and with our freest opportunity of observing and studying them, will, I believe, be a public calamity Picture Quote #1

It is a most extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without being impelled to the conclusion that I am suffering from the particular disease therein dealt with in its most virulent form Picture Quote #1
