Amazon Founder Calls on Governments to End Patent Wars

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos urged governments of various countries to take action to end patent warfare between corporations .

“Patents were supposed to stimulate innovation, but now the situation is when they start to suppress innovation. Governments need to look at the patent system and see if these laws need to be changed, because I do not think that some of the current patent wars benefit society. I love technology, inventions, I like fast changes and in fact is now a golden age for wireless communications and mobile devices, ”said Jeff Bezos.

It should also be noted that Amazon is also actively registering patents, including the well-known “one-click purchase” patent. Personally, Jeff Bezos owns 378 patents . So hearing such words from him is quite amazing. Apparently, the imperfection of the current patent system becomes obvious to everyone, even Bezos.

Coincidentally, an interview with Jeff Bezos came out the day before the High Court of London dismissed Apple ’s appeal against the decision in the case against Samsung against the Galaxy Tab tablets. According to the court’s decision, Apple must buy space in several UK newspapers and post information about the court’s decision in order to compensate for the damage caused to Samsung’s reputation in this lawsuit. The same advertisement with reference to the court decision is required to be placed on the Apple website for six months. The same judge used to say that Samsung tablets cannot be confused with Apple tablets, because they are “not so cool”.

Apple has already lost a number of lawsuits against Samsung on the Galaxy Tab tablets, including in Australia, the Netherlands and the USA, although sometimes it managed to achieve a temporary ban on sales.
