• Resumen

  • Cooper talks about patent reforms. Effective patent laws are critical to high-tech economies. Patents are a contract between an inventor and society: the inventor makes an idea public, and in return the state allows the inventor exclusive rights for 20 or more years. All countries with an advanced technological economy have strong patent systems, and in countries where patent law is weak, innovation suffers.
