excerpt:
Joshua Lerner, economist at Harvard Business School: "one
of the big lessons that comes out of the economic literature on
patents is that `one size fits all' doesn't make sense." ... the
patenting authorities need to find a greater variety of tools for
protecting intellectual property than they have at present.
As you all know, The Economist is a radical left magazine, bordering
on revolutionary.
