I was recently interviewed by Dr. Amy Vanderbilt for the TrendPOV show. The question was "Is The Patent System Relevant". While there are as many arguments in favor of thePatent System's relevance as against, this interview takes a different stand on the matter entirely. Patents convert intangible assets into tangible assets - but what if this conversion could be performed directly without the friction of the Patent system? What if it could happen faster, cheaper, better than the Patent System? What if society protected your ideas for you instead of funding the judicial system?
Here is a link to that Interview with Dr. V
I encourage you to watch this interview because we engage heavily on the idea of what roles tangible and intangible assets are playing in the next economy. I also describe The Value Game and the way we can now introduce a new incentive structure to community development that simply was not possible as recent as a few years ago. This calls into question all prior theories and practices in the the area of social organization.
Dr. Vanderbilt is an extraordinarily intelligent and engaging moderator and someone who simply brings out the best in everyone she works with...Patent that!
