This episode features David Kappos, Partner Cravath, and former director USPTO. The IP system in general, the patent system particularly has become more important and the subject of concern, criticism, but also extreme economic and strategic value. IP sits at the heart of the global superstructure that's driving the innovation and digital economy. Yet its development into a functional asset class is hampered by the basics, lack of IP transparency. Pride in Patent Ownership Act The new legislation is trying to do, is to let the world know, who owns a patent by making a patent owner record their ownership. I will continue to encourage here in the US this legislation to proceed, and then the USPTO to find mid-lane approaches to implementing, and then hopefully we can take this global. This legislation and Oropo on a global level become a catalyst could be really powerful and really positive. Global trade and Challenges in IP transparency Governments in many countries have taken more of an interest. But I think now we're at a kind of a turning point. And in Europe, starting right there in the UK, I think we can make this into a kind of a global wave in a positive way. Future of transparency in the Intellectual Property world With the pandemic that we're still dealing with, I fear that we'll continue to have a lot of pressure brought to bear on intellectual property in general, and accusations of it, impeding or thwarting innovation. I hope others take the IP discussion to a different level to a much more understandable consumer on the street kind of level.

A positive force for negative right. Patents are an unusual property. The ownership of a patent does not permit the owner to do anything except stop someone else from using the patented invention. And so by its very nature, it's  a negative and confrontational, right. Most people and companies who infringe intellectual property rights or patent rights, they're completely unaware that they are infringing the right of someone else. NPE and Patent Risk RPX was born in 2008, around the NPE risk problem. Historically, there was as much litigation, maybe more litigation per capita in America in the 1860s to 1880s, as there has been during the sort of peak of the modern NPE era. So patent owners, regardless of whether they're operating companies, or non practicing entities are not a new phenomenon. Cipher Vision Podcast - Key Takeaway We are in the middle of dispute after dispute, that seems to be never ending, we just really have a hard time stepping back to see the big picture. My prediction is there will not be any dramatic shifts with respect to at least patent related Policy. Many of the things that we have envisioned we're going to heal the world from NPE's or do great damage to patent implementers or somehow damage inevitably the rights of patent owners almost none of those ever turn out to be true. The more things change, the more they stay the same. To feature as a guest or any feedback please reach out to neha.sarin@cipher.ai
