This war goes without shots, but with terrible losses for the defeated side.
Compensation that the losing party must pay only for the fact that , in which an application was submitted for registering a trademark or obtaining a copyright certificate, did not bother with a full examination, checking for the availability of similar means of identification - they can amount to a large number of zeros. Worse than this, there can only be a lack of timely payment for the continuation of legal protection, as a result of which the trademark, promoted and recognized by customers, simply goes to another entrepreneur who managed to seize the moment.
Apple is not in vain registering a huge number of patents
In the Soviet comedy "Office Romance" there is a rather free description of statistics that allows you to know literally everything about human needs. These are the statistics that make it possible to make unexpected discoveries. It turns out that large manufacturers of communication devices turn to the patent office so often that it seems as if their engineers make several discoveries every day. Judging by the activity with which Apple, for example, is engaged in such legal activities, soon the whole world expects “manna from heaven”, since the introduction of all patented developments will allow real human prosperity to be achieved.
Regrettably, this is not at all true. Such activity is associated only with the desire to register a solution to a technical issue that is more or less suitable for patenting standards. And the companies sometimes do not even think about using it. And this is done in order to squeeze your competitor at the right time, force them to refuse to produce a promising model, and receive large financial compensation.
In all this diversity - without the assistance of experienced employees, such as at YurPatent, you can not do. It is qualifications and experience that help insure the owner of intellectual property against errors and protect against ruinous judicial compensation.
Tesla Motors - charity or an objective necessity?
While some manufacturers register literally every little thing that they developed in the process of preparing for the release of a new product, others, such as Tesla Motors, open access to their intellectual property to anyone who wants to take the production of electric vehicles seriously. Maybe it's charity, or maybe an accurate calculation. Indeed, the creative refinement of a certain idea, previously hidden from free access, can later be used by the “philanthropist" himself, who has given a patent to a more talented person for free. Either this or not, time will tell, but the employees of YurPatent will tell you how to act now, what measures to take in order not to incur losses from the actions of intruders. Strictly according to the law, having completed all the registration formalities, the entrepreneur receives reliable legal protection of his reputation, invested funds and successful business.
