Which patents were the biggest hold backs in the recycling industry? I am curious how the patent landscape looks today compared to a decade ago. Seems like it would be exploding in more recent history.
replyOr, less conspiratorially, it's because the volume of batteries that need recycling has been steadily growing.
replyOr because the possibility of profits incentivized invention.
replyAll three of these theories can be true
replyIn which case the market is working as intended.
replyIf all three are true then the market is 2/3 working as intended and 1/3 held back by patents that aren't being licensed out enough.
replyIs someone saying otherwise here?
replyYahooTube’s comment is heavily implying that the market systems in-place stifled invention via patent restrictions.
replyYes, but isn’t that working as intended?
replyBoth can be true.
replySorry what?
