Given the size of the US market, there will always be some level of innovation occurring, that's just basic supply and demand. This could be because of patent laws, or it could be in spite of them.
Generally, smaller companies are able to achieve a higher rate of innovation per employee. So if most US innovation is occurring within large companies, then it would suggest that these laws are actually suppressing the maximum innovation that the country is capable of. 2010/9/13 Cédric Beust ♔ <ced...@beust.com> > > > On Mon, Sep 13, 2010 at 12:31 PM, Kevin Wright > <kev.lee.wri...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Do you have any statistics show what proportion of US innovation comes >> from within large companies, and what proportion comes from >> the acquisition of smaller companies? >> > > No, but I fail to see how this is relevant to my point: there is a lot of > software innovation happening in the US, so the software patent law cannot > be completely broken. > > -- > Cédric > > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "The Java Posse" group. > To post to this group, send email to javapo...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > javaposse+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<javaposse%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/javaposse?hl=en. > -- Kevin Wright mail / gtalk / msn : kev.lee.wri...@gmail.com pulse / skype: kev.lee.wright twitter: @thecoda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
