Kappos at @CSPC_DC: One anti-IP megatrend: Implementers' biz strategy to drive down input costs (like key tech in smartphones, networking equipment) by villainizing patents in order to weaken IP protection.

U.S. historically has benefitted tremendously from IP rights embedded in our constitution ... and shouldn't be treated as a partisan issue subject to the political winds. They're essential to our ability to compete globally. - @QualcommPolicy's Laurie Self at @CSPC_DC event.

Too often IP is improperly treated as ancillary to economic and national security - @QualcommPolicy's Laurie Self at @CSPC_DC event.

.@CSPC_DC event: @QualcommPolicy's Laurie Self: We make decisions to invest in long-term R&D behind the innovation breakthroughs of #5G and the revolutionary changes of mobile tech many years before they come to market, which is possible only because of strong patent protection.

U.S. national security has always been based on technology leadership, which depends on strong IP protection -- David Kappos, at @CSPC_DC event.

David Kappos, in @CSPC_DC event: U.S. is calling on rivals not to steal our IP at the same time we're taking steps to devalue our own IP. "Why in the world would we be devaluing such an important asset class" that's key to helping our trade balance?

On this date in #innovation history: Walter Macomber receives a #patent in 1912 for a follow-on #invention of his rotary engine. His 1st patent on "Macomber Rotary Engine" issued in 1909 for the 1st axial internal-combustion engine; it was used in airplanes. #PatentsMatter @uspto
For 20+ years, policy-based tools have helped to protect against #patent threat. But it's clear that in today's tech-advanced world, a more robust strategy is needed to protect #IntellectualProperty.
