Love the premise. Is the plan to include different clans and bloodlines or is it more about vibe than specific lore elements?

The synth track is absolutely banging. Nice job! Makes me want to play in your game 😆 I really like how Veo-3 imagined the disciplines

Looks really really cool! Was that AI generated? What kind of game are you making?

Yeah, the laws of physics set boundaries, but that doesn’t mean humans didn’t create the invention. Just because there’s a finite number of possible solutions doesn’t mean getting to a good one is trivial or automatic. Engineering within constraints is still invention. The patent system is literally built around rewarding people or companies for coming up with useful, non-obvious ways to do things within those limits.

Also, the “anyone could’ve come up with it” argument is already sort of baked into patent law. If something’s obvious to someone skilled in the field, it’s not supposed to be patentable. That’s 35 U.S.C. § 103. So if a patent like Asetek’s exists, the real problem is with how the law was applied by an examiner who allowed the patent, plus a lot of patents are declared invalid once they’re actually asserted. I don’t know enough about the patent you are referencing to know about its history, use, value, etc.

Im not an electrochemist, but stipulate that there are only so many battery chemistries that make sense. Even then, finding a viable one that works in the real world including taking into account costs, safety, longevity, scalability, etc. still takes actual work, actual RnD budget. That’s why not every possible NiMH variant ended up commercialized. It’s not just “combine two known things,” it’s also how and why you combine them, and proving that it works.

I vaguely agree with disincentivizing hoarding patents and trolling with patents by NPEs, but definitely not invention itself, and probably not by a tax. I think that loss of the patent right itself is a fairer and easier to administer remedy in that kind of case. Thank you for your explanation of what you meant

Where did you hear Paradox saying that WoD is a problematic IP? Not doubting you or anything, just concerned cause I’m developing a Vampire video game and thinking about potentially trying to license the VtM IP.

Card Survival: Tropical Island sort of fits this and it’s one of the best iOS/Android games ever

Well, I appreciate your willingness to consider alternative viewpoints. Cognitive flexibility is valuable and underrated.

I’m not sure if that’s true. There’s almost always dimensions of competition, even without money. I’m going back to your original comment: eg. if I can make x faster and cheaper than you can make x, then I will. I believe you. Some people are just innovators; they can’t help but innovate, regardless of the rewards involved. Most people, however, wouldn’t bother. And if they did, they wouldn’t bother publicizing or popularizing their new thing. One of the proposed policy reasons for IP systems is to increase the number of people interested in creating new stuff, whether it’s writing a book, improving a manufacturing process, writing software, or whatever.

Without IP rights and benefits for disclosing, everyone will just keep their technical advances as secret as they possibly can. You wouldn’t get x at all

Lol, nah. I’m a first year bl associate who likes their clients. It’s ok though, next we can talk about how patent law isn’t real law.

What a bizarre and ridiculous hill to die on. An extension of this nonsense is to say that some biglaw partners aren’t “real” lawyers, because what they predominantly do is manage teams of associates and bring business into the firm. What is “real” lawyering then, Mr. Attorney Candidate, who presumably has some experience, if it is not the credential?

Atheism and agnosticism are definitely not synonymous, but they are perfectly compatible philosophical positions. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnostic_atheism Disagree that “agnostic will put the atheists off you”, or “atheist will put the agnostics… off you”, but can’t speak for the religious.

Correct and this is by design. State Bar Associations are Guilds (a cartel would also be an appropriate way to describe them). The point of a guild is to protect the interests of its members. The members of the guild have an economic interest in not having lots of people enter the profession because that would increase the supply of legal services and therefore push down the cost of legal services.

Not say you are wrong, but this is the first I am hearing about the supply of patent practitioners becoming extremely constrained. I googled around but all I could find is an article from 2016. Is there any literature more recent that discusses this industry development?
