Book Description
An economy of services largely dominates our world today, but no patent system is available to support it. All signs point increasingly to evidence that in almost all countries—and as enshrined in the TRIPS Agreement—patent rules and procedures are seriously handicapped in their incapacity to respond to current economic reality. Many inventions today are made without any materiality, yet they are nonetheless genuine inventions, such as those that arise from the banking, insurance and business consulting industries. Today’s patent system remains deeply linked to the making of things with human hands. It must evolve and adapt so that the new economy can also benefit from its advantages. This book is about that adaptation—which will come, or, rather, as the author shows, has slowly started to come. By describing details and historical events that shed light on how patent law has evolved from the pre-industrial to the industrial economy, the book manifests the need for a further evolution of patents to the post-industrial economy.

ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
While the ability to see the future in the waking state is far from being easy and far from being common among mankind, dreaming about the future is absolutely common and easy, because when we sleep our subconscious mind communicates naturally with our subconscious mind through dreams, and automatically conveys information about the future it is creating. Of course, our subconscious mind is knowledgeable about our future, because it is the one that creates it. Throughout history many people have experienced spontaneous clear dreams about some important future events. Like them, you may naturally dream about your future whenever your subconscious mind decides it. However, you can also take consciously the initiative to trigger a dream about your future whenever you think that you need it. This book will teach you how you can do it. In this book, I will explain two simple techniques for getting information about your future from your dreams, whenever you want them. I will also explain what makes these techniques more effective and what hinders them. But, at first let's see what clairvoyance is in general, how the different types of clairvoyance work and what the different kinds of seers do. And in case you decide to continue consulting clairvoyants instead of using your own abilities, you will learn with this book how to get the most of your sessions, since you will better understand what clairvoyance is and how it works.

The Collaborative Era in Science
Author: Caroline S. Wagner
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319949861
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
In recent years a global network of science has emerged as a result of thousands of individual scientists seeking to collaborate with colleagues around the world, creating a network which rises above national systems. The globalization of science is part of the underlying shift in knowledge creation generally: the collaborative era in science. Over the past decade, the growth in the amount of knowledge and the speed at which it is available has created a fundamental shift—where data, information, and knowledge were once scarce resources, they are now abundantly available. Collaboration, openness, customer- or problem-focused research and development, altruism, and reciprocity are notable features of abundance, and they create challenges that economists have not yet studied. This book defines the collaborative era, describes how it came to be, reveals its internal dynamics, and demonstrates how real-world practitioners are changing to take advantage of it. Most importantly, the book lays out a guide for policymakers and entrepreneurs as they shift perspectives to take advantage of the collaborative era in order to create social and economic welfare.

Your Dreams Can Save Your Life
Author: Anna Mancini
Publisher: BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC
ISBN: 1932848886
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
Although we naturally sense all the dangers of our environment through our body and subconscious, we no longer know how to use these perceptions in order to ensure our own safety. Animals are still able to do this and this enables them to be warned and to flee before the outbreak of natural disasters. However, by learning to benefit from their dreams, humans can surpass animals in this field. The fruit of more than 20 years of research, this book explains a method that is accessible to everyone, that enables the links between the body, conscious and subconscious to be re-established, in order to receive more information on the dangers of our environment. Once communication has been re-established between the body and the subconscious, it turns out that human beings are far superior to animals and to all existing technologies in sensing all kinds of dangers, whether they be natural, human or technological. By using the technique that is explained in this book, you will learn how to ‘retrieve’ information available to you in dreams, that is important for the safety of you and the people close to you. Through this you will also be able to, for example: - avoid accidental death by escaping before the outbreak of a natural disaster: earthquake, volcanic eruption, landslide, flood, storm, tidal wave, avalanche, tornado, etc. ; - foil the plans of attackers, terrorists, thieves, rapists or burglars; - know, before going away, for example by boat or plane, if you are going to arrive safe and sound at your destination or if it would be better to cancel this trip because of an attack, shipwreck, accident or natural disaster… ; - sense many other traps and dangers and avoid them. - the most gifted among you will also be able to develop a greater sensitivity and intuition directly in a waking state, which will enable you to react even more effectively to the dangers of your environment. - you will also learn not to become anxious for no reason when you have simple nightmares, because you will have learnt to detect what triggers them in you and you will thereby know how to distinguish them from true warning dreams of natural disasters, attacks, burglaries, accidents at nuclear power stations, etc.

A Patent System for the 21st Century
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309089107
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The U.S. patent system is in an accelerating race with human ingenuity and investments in innovation. In many respects the system has responded with admirable flexibility, but the strain of continual technological change and the greater importance ascribed to patents in a knowledge economy are exposing weaknesses including questionable patent quality, rising transaction costs, impediments to the dissemination of information through patents, and international inconsistencies. A panel including a mix of legal expertise, economists, technologists, and university and corporate officials recommends significant changes in the way the patent system operates. A Patent System for the 21st Century urges creation of a mechanism for post-grant challenges to newly issued patents, reinvigoration of the non-obviousness standard to quality for a patent, strengthening of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, simplified and less costly litigation, harmonization of the U.S., European, and Japanese examination process, and protection of some research from patent infringement liability.

Depression and How Your Dreams Can Help You Avoid It
Author: Anna Mancini
Publisher: BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC
ISBN:
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 109
Book Description
Over the course of this book, we will examine the most common areas of loss and gain of life energy, before considering some examples of dreams that signal damage to this energy, which after a while, if nothing is done to change the situation, can trigger depression. We will conclude by opening new horizons through the presentation of some little-known, forgotten or once forbidden technologies, destined to recharge the human body with energy and therefore to act on the main cause of depression, that is, lack of energy in the body. For more than thirty years, I have observed the functioning of the human body at the junction between dream and reality. Dreams show that the number one goal of the subconscious and the body is the preservation of LIFE. Therefore, the body and the subconscious never fail to inform us of everything that harms it. They do this mainly through dreams but also through physical cues. Dreams always sound the alarm bell when we lose too much energy, and they often offer a solution long before it is too late to avoid depression. By observing your dreams, you will be able to get to know yourself better both psychologically and physically. You will be able to better manage your energy and stop wasting or losing it through ignorance. You will be able to understand how to make life choices which will allow you to almost always have enough energy at your disposal to remain mentally healthy and to enjoy an existence full of joy.

Your Dreams Can Save Your Health
Author: Anna Mancini
Publisher: BUENOS BOOKS AMERICA LLC
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Dreams are the ultimate guardians of our health and longevity, the medium through which we can communicate effectively with a body which has more knowledge of health and the preservation of youth than all the doctors in the world put together. Dreams never fail to let us know what is happening inside us and what is harming us, not just in our organs but on a cellular level. When we begin to lose our inner balance, dreams never fail to warn us, allowing us to react immediately. At this early stage, it is easier to restore the good order of our bodies or minds. Of course, not all your dreams are triggered by your body to apprise you of your health, and you need to know how to identify those that are. Over the course of this book, I will guide you through how to do this on your own. To this end, I will first give you some examples of dreams that signal the development of the most common ailments, and I will then take you on a journey inside the body through further examples of dreams related to our inner “landscapes”. Indeed, the inner body is a world unto itself, and you will see how your dreams can reveal it to you. In the third part of this book, I will explain how you can induce dreams to answer questions about your health. People did so in ancient temples, especially in Egypt, Greece and Rome, through a practice known as dream incubation. It can also be done from the safety of your own home, and you need only know how to proceed. We will move on to the presentation of some simple “self-hypnosis dream techniques,” intended to influence your subconscious mind positively so that it boosts, when needed or as a preventative, your vitality and healing forces. I will conclude with tips for observing your dreams efficiently.

Unified Patent Protection in Europe
Author: Winfried Tilmann
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191071935
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1832
Book Description
The creation of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) is the most prominent change in the European legal landscape for the last four decades. This book explains how the new system works in practice and how to make the best use of its provisions. It offers readers an in-depth and comprehensive commentary on the legal mechanisms of the upcoming ratified European Patent Law, and advice on potential problems that users of the forthcoming regulations may face. The book first describes the creation of the Unified European Patent Law and how its four new legislative texts interact. The new legislative texts are then explained and commented on in detail, rule by rule, with diverse approaches and perspectives from a practitioner team comprising patent litigators, European patent attorneys, law professors and patent judges. The Commentary takes into account the practical needs of users of the new system on both the prosecution and enforcement sides, addressing substantive and procedural problems. This book is the most authoritative text on the Unitary Patent and Unified Patents Court, and an invaluable tool for practitioners in this rapidly developing area of law.

The Development of Intellectual Property Regimes in the Arabian Gulf States
Author: David Price
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134024959
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
This book examines the development of national legislative regimes for the protection of intellectual property rights in the Arabian Gulf states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. David Price analyses IP rights in these states in the context of WTO membership, and consequent compliance with the requirements of the WTO’s TRIPS Agreement. The challenges of domestic enforcement of the states’ IP laws receive critical attention. A particular focus of the book is on foreign forces which have shaped or influenced the character of the states’ IP protection regimes. It includes commentary on the contribution of foreign states, the WTO and WIPO in the pre-TRIPS and TRIPS compliance stages, and the US bilateral trade strategy for pursuing IP protection standards that exceed those enshrined in TRIPS, and the impact of these forces upon the states’ enforcement performance. The role of the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) and the Special 301 provisions as a powerful tool in the US’ bilateral strategy receives particular attention. The intellectual property laws of these states have been developed virtually in the span of a single generation, and the process of change is continuing. As such, this book will interest practitioners both in and outside of the region, and those with an interest in intellectual property law, comparative law, Middle East legal systems and affairs, and international trade.
